Alright so my 240 is turning over, fuel pump switching on. You can smell the fuel pumping through and it will crank over for a little while and then have a struggle to start. You have to keep the gas pressed in to keep it alive if you don't it stumbles and then dies. Have replaced the plugs and gapped them to .08. All coils are getting spark. Maf sensor has been cleaned. And cas has been adjusted. I don't know what it could be besides the head gasket. Which people are saying it is and some are saying no. I really need to get this figured out so any help is appreciated. Thank you.

try and unplug the cts and see if it fires over better. If still the same pull a coil pack take the CAS out and spin it by hand with the key on and see if u get spark. You will hear the injectors click too.
