I would be looking at the fuel system all the way to the pump.. Check your fuel rail pressure..
Use short burst for starting instead of long … You may have a fuel pump relay becoming weak lagging

Put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail schrader fitting and watch you fuel pressure during startup and cranking. You should see 40-50 psi at the rail. If it's a new fuel pump and you're still not seeing that pressure at the rail, connect a multimeter to the fuel pump's power wire and see what what kind of voltage you're getting there.

Milton, I had my SUV stop starting completely out of the blue. Just as a fluke, I switched the fuel pump relay with the one next to it, in main fuse box under hood. Your problem is probably more severe, but worth a try. It won't cost you a dime. You've changed out so many items, did you do a compression test, to eliminate a failing valve, or piston. If you're from a wet climate, you might have corrosion in one of the plugs that triggers the injectors or pump. Rust and corrosion can cause wonky things on vehicles.
