Default My GSR runs like a RED HEADED STEP CHILD

I have replaced spark plugs, wires, cap, ecu (stock to stock) Fuel Map relay, Fuel filter checked cam timing. cleaned TPS and MAP sensors with sensor cleaner. I know I am getting spark and fuel. Whether the mixture is right I don't know, last time I checked my timing was correct. The problem is, I can't start my car. When I push start it it will start and idle perfectly. My car is GSR with intake, header and hollow cat. My car will die if I give it too much gas at low RPM (from idle to 5000) It bogs out and makes a growling noise like I am getting too much fuel or air. I have done everything I possibly can to fix my car but am having no luck. Please help! My compression is cool to about 190-200 each cylinder. My CEL is a random misfire on cylinders 1,2,4

Dude bro...I got the same *** problem...was on the freeway today..Engine just died on me...waited like 45mins inthe dayum heat, till i got it to run again. Luckily i made back home from OC to Diego..When I came home, could get to start, and I hear a hissing sound when I turn the ignition on...most likely coming from the fuel pump..Can anyone help both of us out? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Oh and BTW...when it is running..especially in stop & go traffic..I feel as like the car tends to jerk really hard at bout 2500-3000 rpms..mainly in 1st & 2nd gears.

Lan, the first thing you need to do is check the fuel pressure.

Tossing parts at a problem is an expensive way to troubleshoot a problem, find out what is wrong first.

"I know I am getting spark and fuel" means nothing unless you know what the fuel pressure is, and how good the spark is. 94

lmao.
working fast


clogged injectors?
check the fuel line for physical damage under your car
fuel pump might be on the way out.
try a new coil and ignitor
get a stethoscope and put it on each injector to see if they are firing consistently
