When you say "I have fuel" how did you tell? First see if you are getting fuel to the injectors themselves.
Hissing is interesting.... smell any gas?
Are you sure you don't have enough fuel and flooded the engine? Removing the spark plugs and seeing fuel on the plugs/ smell gas mean a heavily flooded engine.

The hissing is probably the FPR popping open and passing the return fuel. The thing is, mine would only do that after the pressures were bled down (for maintenance), so I dunno if that it...
So the plugs are bone dry after a start attempt, eh?
How did you test the plugs with the meter? Read out the coils? I know of cases where the coils read fine, yet the injectors are so clogged (rusted) they won't function (been there). Did the car sit for long periods?
