My front drive shaft broke a month ago, I waited a month to repair it and now the car will not start from some sort of other issue. My assumption is it is relating to the weather and possibly water in the fuel. The take was 3/4 full when I stopped driving. The drive shaft is currently removed but should not have any connection to the car not starting. I have poured a bottle of heet into the fuel tank. The temperature is currently 35 degrees and it has been in the teens for the last month.
Previously, the car has always started very smoothly. The first time I attempted to started a week ago, it started immediately and then died within one second. It worked this way about 5x. Then it seemed to not fully catch and added a bottle of fuel additive, nothing, then I added the Heet. The youtube video below shows what the current condition is.

There are no trouble codes.
Update: I installed the pressure testing kit. That was an awful project! Anyways, I got it in and found that the rail pressure with just the key on is about 20-30lbs and then when it tries to start it maxes out at 50lbs. What is everyone's thoughts? I emptied about 8 ounces of fuel from the system using the kit and poured it into a glass jar. I do not see any other contaminants in the fuel. It seems very pure, no water was noticed.
Anyone have any ideas as to what to check next? I went through the fuses also and could not find one that was bad. I switched 15 and 12(power windows). No luck.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
