Assuming it is pre-facelift I'm wondering if the coil amps could be overheating and cutting out?

Does it have any codes now it's run for a bit?

No codes after it ran. Coil packs replaced last year from ecs tuning and spark plugs are also new. How to I check if I have spark on each. And I'll be checking that wire in the passenger wheel well.

Well checked the wires at the passenger wheel well. Cleaned them really good put everything back together and still crank no start. I'm going crazy right about now. No codes nothing

Hang on, now its cranking but not starting? Rather than starting but stopping again?

Thats probably more helpful tbh since now you can check for spark and fuel.

Sounds similar to many of the problems I've seen with mine. I agree with MikkiJayne above.
Start with someone on the key and you in the trunk, can you hear the fuel pump prime when the key is turned on?

Check for spark. Crank engine and pull a plug is it wet, dry? Hot? Kind of a pain to pull a coil and plug and hold against the engine, but good way to see if you are getting spark.

I also know if your car recently threw a CPS code but it not now, I had that same issue. I cleared my codes and cranked and cranked and never got a CPS code, replaced with correct sensor and cleaned the bolt, mounting surface and replaced and car has run great since.

Best of luck.

I give up. Thinking about trading it in. If anyone wants it give pm me and make me an offer before I think about trading it in.

I suppose it's cutting off when it tries to go closed loop so... MAF, O2 sensors, coolant temp sensor, etc. Easy enough to read the values from these with a decent OBD2 scanner.
