Default Mk1 escort cosworth not starting

I am trying to get the car running after a 2 year rebuild, and this is what happens....
The car will start ( better when cold) then run for approx 4 seconds the dies. it then will fail to start until its been left for a while, then the same happens.

It looks as it its getting no pressure, i did remove the feed line to the rail and had plenty of fuel come through, and i have a spark. I did clamp the return hose and car seemed to run, so i replaced the fuel regulator with a new item but its still the same.

Not sure which way to turn now, can't believe its been 2 years and its come to this...

HELP, HELP, HELP
