Try unscrewing the o2 sensor from the cat/pipe for the hell of it.

Yes, he is.

What are you missing? Got Spark? Got fuel pressure?

no sir no fuel pressure,I do not have power in dark green wire,all other seem good,I havent checked spark cause I havent been able to keep it running,I should add that the 11.85 v was at relay,and I was told my starter is weak,could it still be a ground issue??

So it turns over and will start, just won't stay running? And your original post said nothing about the fuel situation, until after you edited your post. If it does start and wont stay running, I'd still unscrew the o2 , but hey whatever.

On a side note, you do realize that there is only power to the fuel pump for like 2 seconds if the motor is not running right? You might also try swapping the ASD relay with one of the other relays, like the horn relay for instance. And if you have no fuel pressure the regulator or the pump itself may be bad.
