Exclamation still cant get her to run!!

so here is wahts going on... in the summer the car will not even start.... too warm out. in the winter the car would run great untill it warmed up and im guessing goes into closed loop mode and shuts off, no stutter or stumble its like i turn the key. here are the things i know are good: injectors, icm, opti(dosent make sence it would be this since it starts and runs while cold) plugs, wires. i am not getting any codes but dont have a scanner just did the paper clip trick. i do not have a place where i can easily get under the car either making this even more difficult. please any input would be appriciated! also there is about 5000 miles on this engine..... and the piggyback tuner(jet) is out of the car

Check for unplugged sensors and/or bad electrical connections and see if you can get a scanner or data logger on it and get some readings.

Could be a coil, Usually if one is on the way out, when they get hot the symptoms will occur as you described..Have a friend let you borrow theirs and see what happens...
