Ok i got the motor in the car a couple months ago and got it running good. After about a week it started to start hard and rough and i had to keep throttle to it but once warm it ran fine (This is with the cold start signal hooked up) it began to get worse day by day. Than a couple weeks ago i drove it around the block and i popped a charge pipe off so i limped it back to the house. The next morning i came out to start it and it started than died and would only crank from there on in. Now i have power to the injectors and the plugs and i have checked the resistance on all of these as well with good results. When i crank it the plugs are soaked with fuel (all but one). If i take out the fuel pump fuse and spray in some quick start it will start and run but only off of the quick start! I dont know what else to check now!!!! Im highly confused!! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

first off, i would check the injector in the cylinder that is dry. not that it will solve your problem but it sounds like another problem waiting to happen. check the coolant temp sensor, aicv, etc. im a little hammered right now but when i sober up im sure i can be of more help.
