Default 1999 tahoe 5.7 with 0 fuel pressure

I have a 1999 tahoe 5.7 with 0 fuel pressure. Will turn over, but is misfiring and sounds very odd.
I've replaced the fuel pump relay and put in a new fuel pump...I can hear the pump cutting on when I cycle the key...but I'm still getting 0 psi with my fuel pressure guage.

I'm thinking the computer is bad...or possibly a bad ground somewhere.

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Perhaps pressure gauge is bad?

Did you change the fuel filter or check the fuel pressure regulator?

yes...I changed the fuel filter when I changed the pump...ths wire harness to the pump is original...i wish I would have changed it when I had the tank out
maybe it is the harness...when I turn the key on I dont hear the pump....but when I turn the key off..I hear the pump turn on
