Default HELP!!! MY SC400 just keeps cranking no start

Hi all, sorry for posting this if it has already been answered. but i am out of solutions , i did every possible diagnosis but the car just wont turn over, i changed fuel pump, bypassed the Fuel pump ECU, checked the relay, all of them are working , oh and i also got a brand new coils and sparkplugs but noting , i have been at it for a week now but the car just wont start, could this be a bad ECU? how do i test the ECU? Please Help. i have 4 days to move the car , unfortunately my Apartment management does not allow you to work on you car on your own parking space.

battery is brand new. I was able to start the car. I just stepped on the gas and turn the ignition on and it started right up. It’s kind of wired tho. After that I didn’t have an issue starting the car up regularly but every Time the car sits for more than 8 hrs. I would have to step on the gas pedal agin to start it. Not sure what that is about.

It kinda sounds like the issue I had, but I have no idea if its the same... I did get my ECU rebuilt but it didn't fix the issue, it prolonged it... kinda. I stalled out on a freeway exit after the rebuild... For me it ended up being my ignitor on the driver side of course... I would get random no starts after a few hours until I discovered it after it started misfiring and it cooked both cats, took it home and parked till I figured it out.. I did post it on my build thread.
