did you diagnose those parts or did you just start buying things?

do you have any cels?
does you cel on the dash work?
I see a lot of weird wires in your engine bay...

the one thing you havent done apparently is to get a service manual, theyre available online, and will stop you from wasting money

 

I wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt an ignition issue the way you describe it..

 

periods...

 

Like a machine gun?
That would be the common issue of the ground at the thermostat housing being loose.
May also be a weak ground from chassis to the transmission.

 

It might help if you connect the negative battery terminal. Try turning the car to II and pump the gas, then try to start it.

 

You do realize that pumping the gas pedal simply opens the throttle plate, right?

When you turn the key to II, you can hear the electric fuel pump work for 2~3 seconds to prime the system and build up pressure.
If anything, you should be turning to II, waiting a couple seconds for priming to complete, and then turn the key to start.
Using a fuel pressure gauge can tell you if your fuel system is holding pressure.
If it does not hold pressure with the engine off, then there is an issue with the fuel system (worn fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, injector(s) stuck open, etc.)
Pumping the pedal on a fuel injected car just exercises your leg.

On a carburetor engine, pumping ONCE will set the automatic choke.
Additional pedal pumping will also release fuel from the 'accelerator pump' so it helps get fuel into the engine is you have a weak fuel system.
If you keep pumping the pedal on a carb engine, you flood the engine with gas and it won't start.
This 'accelerator pump' doesn't exist on fuel injected cars as the ECU takes care of it all.

 

i have checked the ground wire on the thermo i cant find the chasis trans ground i replaced the ignition switch now and yes it clicks like a machine gun yes the cel works and no it doesnt stay on...crazy thing is this if i unpug the top injector wire the relay stops clicking ive had machanics look at this and they cant even figure it out im at my end with this car

 

Try hooking a jumper cable direct from your battery NEG post over to the thermostat.
(Do nothing with the POS cable.)

See if that changes the issue.
