Okay I posted before but here's a repost and update:
I bought a 1995 Mustang, 3.8 5-speed. I bought the car really cheap knowing that it had some problems, being that I've had experience with these cars previously
(5.0 mainly) I thought that I'd be able to figure out the issue. Wrong.
So here's what's up, I got the car home and tried to start it. It would crank and crank but no start. I tried flooring the gas pedal and it started; it was running very rough, shaking so bad the shifter was flopping back and forth.
I parked it and the next morning I had it running again and was listening for
any odd engine noises (keep it mind it's still real rough).
I could smell fuel and I remembered reading awhile back that flooring the gas pedal and starting the car essentially turned off the injectors, so I assumed the car was running rich. I swapped out the fuel pressure regulator. At this point the car would crank but would no longer start.
As I was staring at the engine pondering what could be wrong I noticed that there was 4 white fuel injectors and 2 orange ones. I decided that was obviously wrong, so I pulled the plenum off and took off the fuel rail and replaced it with a fuel rail and 6 white injectors (15lbs) that I happen to have from a 96 Mustang. Put it back together, car cranks but no start.
I replaced the TPS, IAC, and Crank Sensor. Cranks, but no start.
Checked all the fuses and they were good, Replaced the cam sensor, cranks but don't start. I found a website that has different diagrams and talks about testing out the CCRM to see if it's faulty. The CCRM checked out good. So, here I am with this car and am at my wits end on what could possibly be going wrong with it!
Thanks in advance for any and all answers and advice.

Start with the basics; do you have ample fuel pressure..? How about Spark? Sounds to me that the fuel pump possibly took a dump...

I had a 4 cylinder that acted like this, and it turned out to have a blown headgasket and a cracked head. I would start with checking oil, checking the plugs, and doing a compression test.
