Aight so i stopped to get gas about 5 days, turn the car off, got gas, as i go to leave the car cranks but doesnt turn on. I sat there checking everything out for about 15 minutes, turning the car on and off, and finally it started. So a couple hours later, i stopped again to get gas (roadtrip) and the same thing happened, so finally i got home and got gas for the last time. Once again it happened, but this time it never turned on. It sat there for about 3 days while i tried to check everything out. I finally got it towed back to my house today. One of the weird things going on is my when i normally turn my car on, my power FC commander goes to the Apexi title screen, then goes to the monitoring screen. Everytime my car has cranked but not turned on, it just sits at the Apexi title screen. So i dont know if its something with my fuel system or what. i began testing wires with a test light and everything i checked seemed good. My fuel pump turns on. But my battery is also draining, so the makes me think its a bad ground. would this seem right? All fuses are good, i still need to check the spark plugs, does anyone else have any ideas of what to check?

Maybe swap out your pfc with a known working one?

You said that the fuel pump turns on but that does not necessarily mean the pump is getting all the fuel through to the engine? Check the pump maybe and the lines coming off and going in and also check the alternator for possible bad connections (as far as the battery draining it might not be getting charged at all)

Brent,
I have a spare(stock) fuel pump that you could have..

Seems like that is the problem. I had similar issue with the Infiniti J-30.. When the fuel pump was cold it would work, but when hot-it would fail..
