What is cranking fuel pressure?
Does it have injector pulse ranking?
Any anti theft lights staying on?

give fuel pressure details. do the fuel pressure test procedure post results .

with the fuel pressure readings/test being good then the injectors maybe damaged or dirty. this can happen with contaminated fuel. with repeated start attempts the plugs should be wet if fuel is flowing into the cylinders.

Fuel pressure at 60 but what gets me it coded p0300 not a p0301 ect so all injectors went at the same time while running at highway speed im sorry dont know about injector pulse rating and no anti theift lights are on .. i read somewhere if crank sensor was going out that it wouldnt let injectors function does that make any sence ?

If you have good fuel pressure, 60+, and the vehicle starts and runs as long as you spray carb cleaner into the intake(this means you are getting a crank signal), then it sounds like the injectors are not firing.....

Probably a PassLock system....this will set "B" codes, not "P" codes for the theft deterrent system...most code readers/scan tools can't read "B" codes....most likely a B2958 or B2960 is set....
