Check fuel pressre and spark and see what you are losing when it doesnt start.

No I never checked that I was told that it might be the crankshaft sensor so I changed that the car started for about a 45 seconds and then stalled agian and would not start after. How would I go about checking the pulse

You would need to obtain a set of noid light to test the voltage at the injectors. Same concept as checking spark

My car did the same thing. After spending hundreds of dollars on it I found out it was the mass air sensor. If that helps any.
