Well, that wasn't the problem.
I figured since i have checked everything else i would pull up the fuel rails to check the injectors. Well, i went to take the passenger one off but the injectors stayed put in the engine while the fuel rail came off. I was able to put it back down before i coated the whole side of the engine in gas. They are ford injectors if that helps explain it.
I then smelt defeat on that project so i took the vacuum line of the FPR to see if it was wet but it wasn't. It smelt like gas though if that means anything.
Is there a way i can check the injectors since they won't come up with the fuel rail? No spark plugs have been wet.
I'm so ****ing lost right now.

Just did a fuel pressure check...
Primed with line on
10:09 = 43PSI Line On
10:19 = 43PSI Line On
10:29 = 43PSI Line On
Released pressure, took line off FPR, primed again
10:30 = 44PSI Line Off
10:40 = 44PSI Line Off
Released pressure, put line back on FPR, primed again
While Cranking = 44PSI for 2 seconds, 35PSI for 1 second, 44PSI for 2 seconds, repeat

Did you fix it? I've been having the same problem as your describing except mine will crank if I leave the foot on it. Some days it will crank fine but right now it will crank then die. Starter fluid will do the trick for a few days as well as Gumout for some reason.

Nope. Still searching around for ideas. Starter fluid doesn't help me at all. My problem isn't the fuel. All my fuel stuff is working great. I just can't figure out what part of the spark system would cause a no-start every now and then. It only does it if the car sits for awhile (like when i try to start it in the morning.) I took the battery to the auto parts store and they said it was working good also. If it would just throw a freakin' code this would be so much easier.
