Ok changed fuel filter, check spark jumps an inch gap no isuue, did fuel pump ecu bypass, still same issue start for a few secs, which i figure is the cold start injector giving it an shot. had someone turn car over while i pinched the return line for fuel off so made sure pressure was good ( almost made fuel pump quit) swap out ignitors, swap out maf, still same, seems like injectors not working. i have done stater in car so while the intake was off cleaned out all the carbon buildup in egr system and iac and thorlte body.
help please
ps car ran great after starter swap out btw..put on 200 miles on it

I think you are on the right track. If you have a few days, just send the ecu to Tanin or the guy on facebook and they can turn it around in a few days with new capacitors.

Ok I did find the issue I had with no start. The issue was an failed connector which was located beside injector one and under the diag port , Had to remove the plastic cover above the injectors on left bank.
