Cranking is starter action, your saying it cranks good but won't start? What was the fuel pressure spec? As far as idle, clean the throttle-body and check the iac/idle air control. You may have to use a noid lite and check for injector pulse, engine cranking. No injector pulse without rpm signal.

It is possible to have spark at the plugs and good fuel pressure, but, if the computer doesn't see the rpm signal no injector pulse. My first thought would the ignition module, could also be a problem with wiring circuit. Any applicable mil codes? Did you try a little starter fluid in the intake to see if it will start? I usually take the air-duct loose from the throttle-body, open the throttle valve, spray a little, doesn't take much. Stand back away from the vehicle, have helper crank. When using a flamable spray there is always a safety issue. Safety is your responsibility.
