Default need help w/ car not wanting to stay on and being an @$$ to start!!!

alright here is the problem. i start my car up (of course after cranking the **** out of it and tapping the gas pedal) and i have to hold the rpm at around 2-3k or the car will shut off. once i finally get it to where it idles at 1k by itself i drive off, but once i get to a stop sign/light/etc. and put here in neautral the rpm drop to like 400-500 and unless i keep the rpm up it will shut off. now i've done some troubleshooting along the way. i check all grounds, re-gapped the spark plugs and even swapped ECUs to make sure my P28 w/ HONDATA wasn't the problem. as far as fuel goes when the car is on my fuel pressure reads around 48-51psi, but as soon as i turn the car off the pressure drops all the way down to 0psi. fpr possibly? i don't know to be honest. sometimes it turns on just fine, but most of time i encounter this problem. i had it dyno tuned w/ HONDATA. could HONDATA be a problem, but after stating i swapped ECUs (used a P75) i'm not sure that is the problem or not.
i seriously need help w/ this. although i'm seriously thinking i'm flooding the motor out. but when we checked the spark plugs they weren't soaked. but the car runs a little on the rich side. you can smell the fuel coming out of my phat 7 inch tail pipe.
just someone help!!!
thanks

can i get any help?
a little back ground on the motor stuff: new walboro 255lph fuel pump, aem fuel rail, stock gsr injectors and a sard fpr. the spark plugs are like 1yr old and i have new plug wires. the fuel filter is stock and i don't think it's ever been changed. but this problem has been on going. even in my last car w/ a new fuel fliter. basically this problem w/ the car not staying on and having trouble starting has started ever since i installed my skunk 2 stage II cams. when i had the car dyno tuned w/ 310 injectors it ran fine for like 6 days then all of a sudden the car didn't want to start at all. that's when i swapped back to stock gsr injectors and it ran fine except for when i had to start the car i had to pump the gas to get it going. sorry but i just wanted to get into as much detail as possible to assist anyone who can help me w/ this problem.
