Answer
The EPS would make it not start but a fuel restriction would make it starve for fuel ie vapor lock.Could be a number of things like plugged tank vent,fuel line crimped,cinked or "flapper" inside or a fuel water separator sucking air.TPS want make it die,just go to an idle,& oil pressure will derate then shutdown(if enabled).
