I have spark, fuel, injecotrs are working, timeing is on, and pump works... my car will start kinda when it wants, I just put a new CAS in and trying to adjust it but it dident really do much.. I also dont think the alternator is recharging the battery I cranked it oveer alot and the battery was getting weak it finally started let it run for 10min and shut it off and the battery was still almost dead?? so I charged it for awhile then got it to start again... my question I guess is would this might be my coil packs?? not giving me enough spark? it starts slow and kinda of chugs to a full start.. alsoo seems like im getting way to much fuel... this talon is all stock.
 
This could be that your battery is going out and won't hold a charge and/or your alternator is going out. Go to schucks, they can test both of those free of charge. After both of those issues have been taken care of, then continue the diagnosis. Sometimes it's the simple things..

I'd start with CAS in the middle of the adjustment range - Unfortunately the running Rich thing sounds like your old Alt may have cooked your ECU when it checked out - VERY common - good luck.
 
yeah i would get the bat and alt tested but then also check your grounds, i had a simil;ar problem once when my battery kept going out and it turned out my ground was bad coming off the battery.....
