Answer
Hi Tim,
Did you disconnect the battery to erase all the earlier codes, and then try to start it and see what the present codes are? If not, do that.
Because you have fuel pressure (and it would be good nonetheless to be sure that you also have spark) the major possibility would be compression (say for example if the timing belt (only relevant if this is a 3.5L engine) were broken (if you have a 3.5 inspect the cam sproket/belt for motion by removing the cast metal inspection cover on the front of the left cylinder banks); the minor possibility is a fuel/air mixture issue.
One of the more overlooked possibilities is that the egr valve is stuck ajar which will make the mixture too lean to start it. Locate the egr valve under the throttle body area, and try moving the valve stem via a slot in that stem, back and forth and make sure that the internal spring-action causes the stem to move to a dead stop point on its own. If not, lubricate the stem where it enters the vavle body. You will see the stem between the round vacuum actuator and the valve body, hidden by a saddle-like flange.
