Check that your ecm relay is grounding. Had the same problem on my '93 4.0l. Being a '96 you should have obd2, I think. Check for codes, one may be present that hasn't set the light. If you've got a tool fancy enough, check for crank and cam signals.
I like an ol fuel pressure gauge attached to the fuel rail to tell ya exactly what your pressure is! ZappyBear is on to something!
