Ok so your saying that the ECU is definately ok.
Firstly, when you say there is no power to the pump with the ignition on, that doesn’t mean there is an issue, it won’t always power up to prime if it doesn’t need to.
If it’s getting power when your cranking over then I would think that everything is ok (where are you taking the readings from-at the pump?)
I had a VERY similar issue with my 2WD not that long ago, which one of the previous owners could never get to the bottom of, but now it’s fixed.
The car wouldn’t start sometimes, and the fuel pump did make a “clunk” noise, so I thought it was ok, but when I tested the voltage it didn’t show anything (because I tested it with the ignition on and not when I was turning it over-now I know better)
Anyway to cut a long story short the fuel pump was buggered, please make sure this is working as it sounded like mine was, and I wasted a whole heap of time because it was working intermittently and looked like I was getting fuel at the rail, but not enough to start the car properly. Also what condition are the plugs in, if they have been soaked in fuel they won’t work very well.
