hours she fires like nothing is wronge im lost, Ive even

It sounds like you are having a probem with vapor lock. This is actually rare in fuel injected vehicles, but it is the only thing I can think of that would cause the problem you described. My first move would be to replace the fuel pump. This may seem extreem, but if the pump is old or the tank as been run dry, it is possible that the pump is overheating and causing the vapor lock.
