Tranny swap / Crank no start / intermitten Crank

TONS OF CODES/ Crank - No start

The situation: ~3weeks Ago I did a tranny swap auto to auto. Prior to this, no problems. (aside from the missing 2&4th gears). Car ran fine. I did notice a slight hesitation when starting. However, battery turns out to be bad.

After swap: Starter Goes bad - Replaced. New starter sounds like its not catching the flywheel/drive plate. Makes a clunking/chatter noise as if it's skipping across the teeth. But, during this time, it started every time. Ran fine. Eventually starts became hard. *STARTED 1 IN 20 ATTEMPTS* Bought new battery, fired up 1ST, 2ND & 3rd time. 4th time, CRANKS and NO START. I pulled the following Codes:

Day1= p0100, p0325, p0110 , p01335, p0600 , p0105, p0720, p0134
The codes of interest (COI) to me right now are 1335(0407). I pulled and cleaned the sensor (according to search results). Didn't start. Next day. Fires up. Take it for a run, noticed Low rpm hesitation and rough IDLE. Doesn't restart.

I tried readjusting the starter position. Battery terminals are clean, checked tranny harness. No solution. Pull codes

x2 = seen twice
Day 2: p0325(x2), p0600(x2), p0110, p301, p0720, p0174
COI : P0301 - MISFIRE cycl #1, p0174 - fuel injection left bank / lean

Pulled plugs: plugs 1 & 2 look carbon fouled. -Replaced. Crank engine. No start. Pull plugs - covered in Fuel. Haven't checked the coils with multireader yet. Pull CKPS. Full of magnetic shards. Clean replace. No improvement

Later this day. After switching some coils around. Checking fuses/switching relays car starts. Observations: Battery dies, every "dummy light" turns off. I back off the key and throw foreward and it starts. I let it idle. Check exhaust - WHITE SMOKE. Fuel smell *makes sense, probably a little flooded?* Car eventually stalls ~2.5 mins

New codes: p0110 (x2), p0105 (x2), 1760, p0740(x2), p01490, p1492, p0446, p1400, p1760, p0745 (x2), p1105. Since this, All i have gotten is a temporary crank. It DOES NOT CRANK while THE KEY IS IN THE START position. It'll instantly make the CRANK NOISE and then stop. All I can hear is the Starter spinning along with the flywheel?


ANY Ideas would really help! I Have the fsm and I've been going through it. I know what all these codes mean. However, the manual doesn't exactly say which components are necessary for a successful start.

I'm currently working throught the symptoms matrix. Again, any ideas will be glady accepted.

Can anyone quickly list major components for starting?

#POST 2

I've changed the cps(ref) and the cps (pos). *I only had a code for the (ref)*

DIAGNOSIS
injector and coil harnesses are getting battery voltage.
Coil harnesses,terminal 3 and ground should read between .01 -.1 volts. I'm getting .02 Is this too low?

Car started 4 more times. Drove it one of the 4times and it stalled out on me. Pulled the plugs. They're ALL carbon fouled. Bought new plugs, threw those in. Started up on first try. *Does this mean the ignition system is within spec?*
I let it idle and it was very rough. I rev it to 3k. I noticed that I have a slow return to idle. Turn the car off, turn it back on no start. Pulled the plugs and they're carbon fouled. WTF? So, I'm running rich in the FRONT AND REAR BANKS. What could be the cause? PCV? O2? leaky injector in both banks?

Maf works
p0174 LEAN in front bank injector system. THIS CONFUSES ME ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M RUNNING RICH. only way I see this makin sense is if the o2 sensor is dead.

Air filter is new.
Fuel filter, is new, but I had it laying around for like 6months.
plugs new, 0miles and carbon fouled.
REF CPS CHANGED.
POS CPS CHANGED.

Any ideas? CAR= 98se auto 168,xxx
