NUT- I found it. It is a 3/16' allen. But I cannot get it to move. Think I should try a "shock blow" to see if I can get it free? I don't know what type of material this is made of. I don't think it's brass, could be a cast of some sort.

I think the reservoir is aluminum. Mine was very tight the first time I removed it too.
When you turn the key on, can you hear the fuel pump running prior to the start atempt?

Was the reservoir full? I think that puts you back to the cam sensor if it is.

How much fuel do you have in the tank? Another no cost quick check since you can hear the pump running is to open your drain valve on the fil/sep reservoir and make sure fuel is present. If it is, have someone cycle the key while you do it again and look for increased flow. Or simply do the lid removal thing, messy if you cycle the key, but shows if the bowl is full for sure if not cycling the key. Make sure you have fuel in all the right places b4 chasing electrical gremlins.

Cookie-I've tried again to get that Damn screw of the top of the HPOP and have twisted my 3/16" allen wrench around, no go.

Well don't strip the head out. I'd hate for you to have to get a machinist to get it out.
Even if the reservoir wasn't full, after enough cranking the low pressure pump would fill it enough to support injection, so for the moment I think it's ok to assume there is enough oil in there.
How about that cam sensor...do you have a spare you can stick in there?

An open circuit will result in minimum oil pressure and a no-start situation. A short circuit results in maximum oil pressure, and is limited by a mechanical pop-off valve to 27,580 kPa (4000 psi).
It's located in the back of the HPOP under a harness going to the oil temp sensor located in the resevoir.
