Here is a list of parts changed.

Crank Sensor, computer, ignition module,new battery (for the heck of it)

Things checked (and checked out good) Fuel pressure, all ground points and power points. Spark is good too. The car simply loses injector pulse after starting. I went over to see him this morning and he had every schematic for the car laid out on his desk and he is starting to run out of ideas.

Checked the injectors? pumps? I'm stumped too, when it fires up how long does it stay on for before dying?

Fuel deliver is all good so, could be internal engine problems at idle? can you rev in neutral at all?

Shots in the dark I suppose

Is there a _camshaft_ sensor as well? (I don't know offhand; I never had to get this deep into my engine.)

Also, besides the relays in the Maxifuse/Relay center, have you also pulled and checked each of the Maxifuses that sit above the relays, under those rectangular dust covers? Maybe something got dislodged.
