Alrighty, I've had this problem for awhile. I turn the car on, idles for about 5 seconds then dies. I've checked the fuel pump, rail, changed the spark plugs, filters, etc. I watch the fuel pressure gauge drop.... then the car dies. I'm so close to giving up on this car....any thoughts would be appreciated....

If the fuel pressure drops and then the car starts to die check for clogged filter both in the engine compartment and at the pump itself then check your pump. You should have around 34psi at idle (24" Hg Vacuum) with stock FPR.
