I would like you to perform a few different kinds of fuel pressure test and a volume test, but first replace the fuel filter and test the TPS and see how it goes.

sounds like it is being starved of fuel.

it may be a plugged exhaust sytem but i really dotn think so, it could be and your extended crank problem could be completely unrelated.
