Have a Mazda B300 P/U. Has 156000 miles. Just put in a new long block 3.0 ltr engine. Replaced all belts. Hoses, Plugs, Rotor and cap, run it for 2 weeks and had a check engine lite. It was for the o2 sensors. Replaced both. Then had a problem with engine just shutting off as you where driving down the road. Would start right back up as soon as put in netureal and turned starter over, Would go a few miles the do the same. So to try and solve that problem. Replaced Ignition Module, Coil. Checked timing, good. Checked fuel psi. It's 38 lbs. Checked injectors for pulse, Compression is all good. Everything is there for it to run but the engine still willl not start, Turns over but will not run. Have ran out of clues.

When it dies look for spark and fuel immediately.

There is only one small problem. It would have to start up and run for a few seconds in order for me to check it. It will not start up. Thanks

Remove a plug wire and crank it over while looking for spark-do this first

Yes, I have spark at plug. There is pressure on Fuel line. Rotor is turning in distributor, Rotor is set to point to #1 plug at TDC. I have everything it should take to make it run, But will not start. As I said. I am out of clues. The only thing I noticed today is when I cranked it over the fuel pressure went to about 38 lbs. Then slowy leaked down. Not sure if maybe the injectors are being told to stay open or what. Thanks again for helping me figure this out.

Check the fuel pressure regulator/fuel pump and check valve you're almost home.

Fuel pressure is very critical on EFI system
