Default What can it be!?!?!

This is about the 8th time Ive tried to fix my car and im stumped. Its running VERY rich. So rich that it cant start. So I did these procedures, Replaced the MAP Sensor, Replaced TPS Sensor, Replaced Coolant Temp Sensor on the head, Replaced the injectors, replaced the FPR and reset the ECU and absolutely nothing will make this run. It starts up and then dies almost a second after (only after ECU is reset). My Relay kicks and my fuel pump primes. So what else can this be?!?!?!?!

What is your setup?
How did you determine it was running so rich? No CEL, I'm assuming? Checked spark plug gap?

So you are not positive you are getting a spark? Do you have a spark tester, or a timing light (inductive)? This just started happening recently? I am going to assume you tried cleaning the plugs and got the same result? How do the plugs look (electrode/anode damage?)

Sorry for all the questions, but only way to diagnose.

No prob on the diagnostics, anyways I am definetely getting spark because the car will start up every now and then for a few seconds and run. I try to press down on the gas but it dies out afterwards. I also changed the spark plugs.
