Have you pulled any codes from the ECU?

At first glance, it sounds like you have a bad fuel pump
relay/connection/wire.

There have been some recent posts on www.4x4wire.com about similar
no-start conditions. But, I don't believe any had a hot ignition coil.
If it can be fixed, the folks on 4x4wire can help.
