Default Car lost Fuel Pressure.. and ideas?

So i was driving my car last night and i went to smash it as i was crusing along and the car went to take off and then feel flat on its face and died! i tried starting it again and then i looked at my fuel pressure gauge and noticed it read 0 checked all the fuses and relays for it including the one on the hot wire kit.. the pump is a walbro 255 in-take pump? any ideas could it be fuel pump failer even tho the bump is less then a year old

search. Been lots of posts on Walbro failures. I posted the results of the Walbro investigation. Seems there's a part in the pump that's going "tango uniform". Walbro is working to fix it.
