2005 Jimmy not starting

I have a 2005 jimmy with a M13A engine and it cranks over fine but does not seem to get start fuel. 90 psi fuel pressure, fitted a new crank angle sensor same problem. Spray some engine starting fluid in the intake and it starts and runs fine and drives fine, but you have to repeat the same process if you stop the engine.
Any help with the problem is good help.

I don't know if this has any bearing on the problem, but 90 psi is very high, with the pump running & the engine stopped, the pressure should be 38~44 psi, engine running at idle, 30~37 psi.

How are you measuring the pressure - are you deadheading the pump or teeing into the supply line?

just picking up the pressure from the feed line to the common rail, not a flow throught pressure. What pressure does the pressure relief valve release the fuel for return to the tank.

What pressure does the pressure relief valve release the fuel for return to the tank.

It's not specified in the service manual, I would assume somewhere between 35~40 psi.

Get a noid light and see if the injectors are being driven whilst the engine is being cranked.
