If you haven't replaced the crank sensor then perhaps you should. Could also be distributor pick up assembly

the new crank sensor is NOT receiving ground from ecu so this i know during the testing of the crank sensor probing was done from engine side of wiring harness to the sensor the ground is sent from NOT the chassey but from ecu so is it the ecu i have to replace or is it opening up the harness from ecu to plug connection to c.sensor

I personally had only one ecu problem in the past related to both injector bank grounds and yes replacing the ECU did the trick

The crank sensor and cam sensor both checked ? The pick up inside the distributor acts as a cam sensor. I believe the crank sensor itself is grounded when attached but not sure.
