From the original post:

It took my a couple of reads of the post to see that since the post is missing some punctuation and it all kind of runs together.

That being said, the CPS is where I would move next but only after double checking the battery posts for ANY corrosion and to make sure the connections at the battery are good and tight. I had the problem of my car dieing when coming to a stop. I checked the battery connections and they seemed tight, but I wiggled them a little harder and the positive cable moved. Got about 8 turns on the positive cable clamp nut and about 5 on the negative. It has never died again.

Good point on the CPS though - definitely worth checking if problems persist.

When he says 'kick over' I think he means it will not start, otherwise how would the starter sound fine?
He says he hears the injectors, he's inside the car and he hears the injectors? I can only hear the injectors when I have the hood up and I am outside the car and leaning into the engine bay.

Confusing wording here, crank means a different thing to different people, crank means the car turns over but might not start to me. Kick over means crank to me, but not start.
