Still on mfi? Get someone to pump the flap on the metering unit whilst you turn the car over, mfi is a bastard once air is in the system, also check the obvious like the pump is priming

Well first things first, work your way from back to front, checking you have fuel going into and coming out of the filter, then check its getting into the metering head, then try pumping the flap, this is how I had to get the fuel up in mine, if not pm me
