Correct, disregard my first post. I don't know what I was going on about. The gauge should hold the number as stated earlier it is, well should be, a sealed system. The reason the car would still start is because the fuel pump seems to be pushing fuel into the fuel rail which would mean that the car would ignite, even if only for a second or two because it has fuel. Before I ruled out fuel pump I would rule out spark. 2jzs are real iffy about cutting spark if something is wrong. They cut spark if they don't detect the crank position sensor or if there is something up with the TPS and a few other things. Could also be coil packs. I would start by making sure you have spark.
Also, what engine management are you running and do you know what fuel pump?
