Have you tried the injector simulation test to see if the injectors are working?   
 
How long has this feature been in the EC-2?  I was thinking this was a new addition, so most people still wouldn't have it???  I've sure never known about it until recently, and I made a note to try mine to see if this works. 
 
I would vote for fuel as well, though I'd also recheck the CAS as Ed mentioned.   If you did that much cranking, some with cold start on, you'd have to smell fuel in the exhaust if your injectors were working.   
 
As for fuel pressure, what size is your fuel return line to the tanks?  Most people get a couple psi increase with the second pump.  To get as much as you have, I'm thinking the fuel return can't flow enough to return the volume from both pumps at once.  This isn't necessarily something that has to be fixed though. 
 
Good luck,
Rusty
