Default please help car wont start maybe fuel issue?????

2001 z06 383 with vortec supercharger
I had my car started and idling wanting to go for a drive, and when I got in it to leave it just dyed. Sounded and felt like it was out of gas. Put gas in via gas cans filled it up, still no start, checked plugs that I just replaced still brand new. Checked coiles, checked fuses, checked batterey, all good.
I have 96# injectors with the accelleronics system, and a a1000 fuel system, checked the pump it is good, checked the fuel line before it goes into fuel rails it is good sprays fuel, pulled up the fuel rails and gas spilt into the engine put it back together and the car started for a brief moment, then nothing. It just cranks and cranks and never starts.
Any thoughts? is my accelleronics box bad, it seems like the injectors are not spraying fuel what would cause that and how can I fix it?
any help would be great ????????????????????????

Check fuel pressure at the rail, the "spray test" is not sufficient. You checked the fuel pump? How? Can you hear it run? Get your service manual and DMM out and start doing voltage checks...ignition, injectors, etc.
