Default 2000 trans am Cranks/wont start

Hey guys just need a little help with this one. The car fires up on random occasions. But this last time it just wont start anymore.

fuel pump was recently swapped out.
Full pressure at the rail.
Spark arcs on the wire.

Now it just cranks and wont fire up. any suggestions?

check your injectors if they are clogged, any codes on the system? have you checked your amp on your battery? sometimes they weaken so much they don't have enough amp to turn on the car. post back when you get a chance.

My car starts when cold and I'll drive it about a quarter mile and the motor will just stall with no warning no codes either? When you try and start it back up agian it takes about 15 times to get it to were I can idle it back into my.driveway and it runs like crap backfires and rpms jump everywhere? I wonder if this can be a wire short
