Wow. It can take a bit for the fuel to make it to the injector rail. What i do if I've removed my fuel rail to prime the system is disable the ignition (spark) and crank it over in 5 second intervals 2-3 times, hook the spark back up then crank until it coughs, stop then go again and it will usually start at that point. Fuel has a cooling effect on the motor that pee probably can't duplicate so the pump could have overheated.
