im gonna take my friends fuel rails, injectors and FPR and put it on my car to see if theres a difference, also whats the possibility of maybe a crank sensor being bad causing it to run lean? i doubt it but just a thought

A bad crank sensor would not cause a lean condition. It would cause the motor to misfire and stall.

Anything that will cause a misfire will show up as a lean condition because the oxygen sensors only sense oxygen and not fuel. They detect a rich condition by detecting a total lack of oxygen.

But yeah considering you haven't mentioned any misfires I'm gonna say your crank sensor is not bad. Nor do you have a cylinder going out since the only way that would cause a lean condition is if it were misfiring.
