Is the fuel pressure okay ? Can you hear the pump buzzing like normal ? I know you said you have fuel but if the bearing fails it will still pump but at a very much reduced pressure.

Check the flap is not stuck in the metering head and if free hold it down for a bit.

Could be airlocked. This sometimes happens when you run out of fuel, or break into the fuel system for what ever reason.

Easiest way I find is to crack off all 4 injector banjo fittings on the top of the meter head and get someone to crank it over. While it is being cranked over, work the flap up and down until fuel comes out of the fitting. Nip them up and see what happens
Nicked that post off DazC to save me re-typing
