Angry LR3 Crank but Not Start

Hey everyone! I am completely new here (Except my continuous stalking of posts to help me fix my rig) I have 2006 v6 LR3. I had a couple of issues with it. First I was driving and while I was idling at a red light it shut off then I coul just restart it. It did that a coule of times. Then a couple of weeks ago I was driving at about 45 MPH and the engine lost all power like it wasn't getting any fuel. Awesome fuel pump issues.... So I check the relay and it was fine. test to try to hear the pump. Nothing. So I am excited, all I have to do is switch out the pump. I scour the internet and found one for 97 dollars delivered to my door next day. I drop the gas tank replace the fuel pump.. Super easy. Now time to test. I hear the pump hum now. Woohoo it should start now right? Nope. I test the valve to make sure fuel is getting to the engine. It is. So now this leads me to believe I am not getting fire. So I decide to test the spark plug wires and coil packs.

I believe the v6 engine is set up passengers side 123 and driver's 456 so in that set up I get spark from coils 1 4 and 6 but nothing from the other 3. So I assume its the ignition coil. I get 3 new ignition coilds and replace them and still no spark.... At this point I am really frustrated and hope I didn't just waste 140 bucks on 3 ignition coils and a pack of spark plug wires. I forgot to mention when it died originally it the codes it threw at me were- Ignition coil A, secondary – circuit malfunction, Ignition coil E, secondary – circuit malfunction, Ignition coil F, secondary – circuit malfunction. and there were a couple others that I don't remember (Wife through the paper away) We cleared the codes to see if it would give us the same ones but nothing. It also threw fuel pump originally. At this point, I am thinking either my ECM has gone bad or one of those pesky sensors is going bad. What do you guys thing? Could it just be a fuse or relay? One of the many pesky sensors? Or my ECM?
Update: I put the tank back up, I could hear the pump running but I lost fuel to the engine. Then I lowered the vehicle and I no longer hear the pump running. When I get off work today I am going to drop the pump just a bit to see if everything works again.
Update 2: Not getting spark other than on the same three that produces exactly one tiny spark during the crank process. (Can't start with start fluid) I dropped the tank and get minimal fuel pressure. just bubbles out of the schrader valve. But I can hear the pump working and priming. I am really at my wits end... So I am thinking it is one of the many sensors that is causing this. WHat do you guys think? Looking for some help soon cause I have a new baby on the way and have to move all before the end of the month I can't keep wasting time by just changing out parts.
