Default Need help with GS 2JZ issue

Ok, so this site has been a massive help since I acquired this GS 300. It is a 1998 2JZ VVti, all original. I pick up the car for a steal and fixed it for the price of an alternator. It ran perfectly for most of the year, as I slowly replaced the suspension and steering. Then for the past three months, I've been troubleshooting the issue with starting. Started with fuel pump and regulator, that was a whole issue in itself but that is solved. Still had issues, we then replaced the starter, EFI relay, TPS, and fuel filter. Almost 1000$ in new parts, not counting the suspension. It is not the security code for the key, I have never had the original key, it has always been the secondary.
Out of patients with this car, and tired of throwing money at it, I really like the car. Please Help any inquires and opinions are welcome most of my troubleshooting has come from this site!!! So I'm hoping that you guys can assist!!!!!!!!!!
