Default EFI rs turbo won't start

Hi there, I use to be active on here but family took over while my rs turbo was mothballed.
I have recently just been trying to get her started again so I can move the old girl about and start running through it mechanically.
It's a 90 spec rs turbo with the engine loom from a fiesta rs turbo- use to run great and last ran 3 years ago when I moved house.
I have changed fluids and checked it all over, she has good fuel pressure(got an inline guage), spark and turns over well but won't fire up- any ideas as everything seems fine but it just cranks and doesn't attempt to fire up at all so a bit lost as it's been a while! Any help appreciated.

You mention fuel pressure, but you have not confirmed fuel is reaching the engine (i.e. fuel injectors operating?)

Pop a bit of easy start into the inlet and see if it fires over, if so it proves that its a fuel issue.

I suspect gummed up injectors from the long storage period.
