Ok guys looked around, couldn't find what i was looking for! Here goes Went to the store tonight got out of the car( car still running ) walked into the store, came back out the car was not running! Got in the car started it up, it started and then shut off. Tried it about 10more times same thing. So one of my buddies came with a ecu, swaped them stayed the same. Went and got new spark plugs and wires, got a spare coil pack, cas, injector resistor,and coil resistor. Nothing fixed it, car is in time and has fuel pressure at the fpr, its getting spark, so i have no clue!

What do you guys think i should try next?
 
Sounds like a dead fuel pump. You have fuel at the FPR but if you did not check it for what pressure the pump is putting out it means nothing.
 
deff check your fuel pump aaronspeed is right. there may be pressure on the injectors but nothing from the fuel pump is pushing that through.
 
So i took out the Ecm link chip and replaced it with the stock eprom chip and the car started! So i emailed ecm tuning and they said ( it sounds like a bug in the chip ) Im glad its not the ecu because there going to replace the chip for free. So im driving down to ECM tuning on monday.
