Could it be fuel pump?

Im pretty sure when you switch the ignition on that you should hear it prime up? if not that could be your problem.

I obviously could be totally wrong as im not an engine specialist whatsoever, but theres loads on here and hopefully one of them will help you out!!

** edited** just seen youre getting fuel to the rail so probably not pump then :-(
