Did you perform any diagnostics on it? Fuel pressure, spark, fuel, timing, idle speed?

When it won't start, check for spark and listen for the fuel pump priming. Is the CEL staying ON when the key is turned to ON(II)? What ECU are you using?

fuel pump is priming... and its getting spark.. the car will start occasionally and hold idle for a couple minutes but then shuts off.. then the car wont start nemore.. it gives that weak crank like the battery is dying out.. ive tried using a jump cable and im getting the same results..

You might want to check whether the timing belt slipped a tooth.

How the cylinder compressions?
