Sorry I've only had time to skim read this thread but this sound like something that happened to me.
In my case it was down to a broken wire from the FPS.
The sensor is on the bottom of the rail I think it has a red plug connected to it check this is in all the way.
Next if you follow the cable down to the sump there is a second connector there or at the bottom of the block, this one is yellow and it's cable tied to stop it coming apart, check the cable tie is still holding this together.
The problem on mine was when I had the cam belt done the dick of a mechanic damaged the wire where it goes in to the yellow plug. One of the wires broke and the engine cut out, I restarted it but every time I tried pulling away the engine stalled.
If you check on a OBD reader and look at the live data from the rail I bet the ecu won't see the pressure change when you rev it.
When I was looking about it see what I could find when I got it home I think I must have disturbed the broken cable and it must of started shorting because after that the car wouldn't start.
It wasn't till I found the wire moved it away from the block that I could start up again but still had the same problem, where it died after putting load on.
I repaired the wire and it worked fine after that.
Good luck and I hope you can fix yours.
