How many miles on the car? Could the fuel pump be dying?

I think you'll have to do a check for (1) fuel at the injectors and (2) spark at the plugs.

Something may have happened to the fuel pump.

May as well check the easy part first....is the inertia switch at the passengers door hinge triggered? That cuts fuel off in the event of an accident.

Also, the fuel pressure regulator? After that I start looking at the ECU? Any corroded pins?

From memory rather than experience, can the feed pipe not sometimes detach in the tank?

Thank you for coming back to share the conclusion. Hate it when people never come back.

Great that you found the cause.
I was wondering how the car got you the half mile home with a failed fuel pump fuse.
Maybe there's still some magic in there somewhere.

I'm thinking I popped the fuse sometime during installation but drove it an hour to work this morning driving really well as smoothly as my s500 mercedes
