check your plug wires and make sure they're in the correct order on the cap. If that's not is, make sure everything lines up at TDC.

What's your fuel pressure at? Also have you tried new plugs?

those are two things that you need to do. If the fuel pressure is to low, it won't fire, if it's to much, it'll flood. It sounds like the plugs in there are already fouled from fuel or something else, so install some new ones.

Changed oil, put in new platinum plugs, got fpg; fuel pressure is at 44. Cranks stronger than ever and almost starts up for the first 25 seconds, after that it just cranks.

Stick a screwdriver in each wire hole, and hold it over a nut on the chassis, see if a spark jumps to ground out, if it does you'll have spark, check all 4.
After that i'd pull the rail, make sure that your getting fuel, something isn't happening.. you need two things fuel and spark and one of them isn't getting in.

Quite possible bent valves not allowing compression to build up or your pistons are broken or a broken sleeve.. might need to remove the head to install inspect evertyhing.

TPS and Map sensor plugs in the correct position? My buddy crossed his once and it performed similarly.
