The car has a new fuel pump and fresh tune up, security light goes off when key is on. It will start if you shoot either in the iac port. Intermittent start problem car runs and starts fine and once in awhile it will just crank and wont start what could it be? It has new fuel pump

How do I check injector pulse? I know they are all firing I pulled each injector off when car was running and it made it run rough each one I pulled off and when I put back on it smoothed out. Car runs great no missing what so ever just the intermittent start issue. It has new fuel pump, new plugs, wires and module under the coil packs
