buy spares then, they're cheap. Shiping yours out to be cleaned would take a few weeks I bet.

May be simple but what about the battery.

Clean your injectors. I don't know how but with fuel injector cleaner. Worth a shot.
Worth a shot, but when the engine is cold it actually sprays more fuel, cold start enrichment.

It sounds like something simple, but maybe you should start double checking the stuff you already replaced.

If you're OBD1 I'll ship you a set of stock injectors for like $7 and you can have a spare set if that doesn't fix it.

It's hard to say without hearing it in person. Any smoke? What does the exhaust smell like? Any mods? Boosted or N/A?

ok so i had it checked out the fuel pump is bad.......but after talking with the mechanic guy he thinks i may have just kinked a line since i just replaced it. So tonight the fuel tank gets dropped to inspect for a kink i hope1 that fuel pump has under 1k on it! damnit! Also the Fuel inject buss relay is going out......what the hell does that mean? least i know what it is now! hopefully i was just dumb and put a kink in the line somehow!

I hope it is on a flexable line cuz if it is on a hard line you have to rebend all that ---- and it sucks. Or use stainless.

ok so I uncinked the line, it was a flexable one it was pressed against the body of the car.....so now problem is still there(the line didint looked "That" cinked). I really dont think it is the fuel pump when i turn the key to the on spot you can here it whir for a second then shot off like it has pressure......so my next question is what is the "fuel ingeect buss relay"? they said that was also going bad.,......so i will replace this in my next effort! Any ideas or links on what it is and where i can get one... i FOund something called a ignition power relay.....would that be it?

If your fuel pump kicks on and it cranks over, it won't be your main relay. I don't know WTF that other thing is? I've never heard of that. I think someone was talking out of their ***.
