can the ccrm be the problem.or do you think the tps i had the fuel pressure tested and it was relly high.

you need spark fuel compression and air.
IF pressure is really high, might be a faulty fuel pressure regulator, are your plugs wet with fuel?

I'd also check air filter, and clean the IAC.
What does the IAC do? How does it work?

One more detail.

... AT THE CORRECT TIME !

More specifically timing. If the timing belt/chain jumped a tooth it will try like heck to start but never make it !

That's normal.
The fuel pump will only run for a couple of seconds, and when the engine is cranking. When you stop cranking it may run for a second or two.

Please read the IAC threads I posted above, clean your IAC, it is only two bolts to remove it.
