I have had this issue for 3 months , I have read every question , on every forum about this , and I have replaced a lot of parts in agreement that it would work .
New alternator
Battery
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
Map sensor
Crank sensor
Cam sensor
Spark plugs
Ignition coils
Changed vacuum lines
New key
Throttle body
Checked fuses
Got fuel going to the rail
I am extremely lost and can't seem to think of anything else to do . If there is anyone out there , anyone at all that can help , I'm begging for it . Thanks .
What seems to make the problem better or worse? No change in crank or anything when parts were replaced . It did fire once when i replaces the spark plugs and ran for about 2 minutes and died .

Hello,
Without speculating on the issue, as I feel this will cause further costs for you, I will simply say that all of the parts listed far exceed the likely cost of diagnostics.
Anytime you change parts without diagnostics being performed, you take a risk, and that risk ay pay off sometimes or not.
My best advice is stop throwing parts at the car, tow it to a repair facility, have it diagnosed.
People go through this scenario all the time and the end result is wasted time and money.
