Are you doing just the ecu reset or are you doing the ecu reset and the throttle relearns after the ecu reset??

Ok I'm running out of ideas. Fuel injectors are working. The spark plugs are soaked in fuel, but they are getting spark. Car starts for a second or two with starter fluid then dies. I've tried the pedal dance a bunch now I am just leaving the battery disconnected for a while. I have fuel and Spark. So all I can think now, is that when the car went into limp mode initially, I flooded it trying to start it so much. Otherwise some how the timing is now off.

Any more suggestions?

Unplug the MAF and see if the car will start. A bad MAF will not always throw a code. A car will start with the MAF unplugged but you won't be able to drive it like that.

Fuel level reader in the pump is bad. Car says I have half a tank and I'm out of fuel. Decided to try the simplest idea and put fuel in. Fml what a waste of time.

hmm my friend had a 350Z with similar problems turned out to be grounds lol. Check those and go over that intake manifold for leaks. take it all off and put it back together, sounds sill but could be something worked itself loose.
