Before we explore these codes iam more intrested in why the battery goes dead or the engine wont turn over?That problem can set any number of codes and make us chase are tails. So has the battery and alternator been tested?Also have you made sure the battery cables are clean and tight?

Pressure 40 lbs, good.
Crank senswor is behind the harmonic balancer and the module is under the coil. The pcm is inside the car.

I would not throw expensive parts at the car without someone identifying the failure. You could spend 1000 in guesses that may not work.

Either a bad connection, bad ground or bad pump. What kind of pump did you use?

Sorry I just saw this yes I rented the tester and the pressure was within specs and even though it was I figured since it was a 1992 and most everything was original things were getting tired so to speak thats why I really had no problem changing the fuel pump, strainer, filter, and fuel injection pressure regulator

Ok I checked all the components mentioned the idle air control valve had a lot of soot on it it had movement but im not sure how much movement it is supposed to have though and with all the sensors I dont know how to check them with a multimeter so all I can tell you or give you is visual information the map sensor had some soot on it but the platinum wires were in tact and the TPS moved freely

Why did you take off the o2 sensor?
You may have a bad cat converter if it runs because you just gave the exhaust somewhere to go.
