My car wont start. It cranks but doesnt start. When it does start, it hardly runs. Stumbles and stalls, almost like its not running on all cylinders, then it dies.

Ive replaced the engine, upper engine harness, ecu, fuel pump, distributor, plugs, cap and rotor, fuel filter.

I thought it was a grounding problem but ran an ohm test from the negative battery terminal to the engine and got .5 ohms. So i dont believe thats the problem.

Ive tried to turn the dist. a tooth back and forth and have installed it everytime according to the faq at ka-t.org. This is a brand new dist.

When it does start its usually because i have the gas pedal all the way down. But if it starts with out doing that, when i push the gas pedal down it drops in rpms or dies.

I have no idea what it is. My coil could be bad but i get spark from the coil to the dist. and my ecu reads 55 all clear.

HELP!!!

IF SOMEONES IDEA WORKS I WILL PAYPAL THEM ONE U.S. DOLLAR!!!!!

well lets start things off with rechecking your firing order, then your fuel pressure, check your ecu ground, then check your iacv and idle settings- see if it will start/run at partial throttle...
