I finally got my car started again the other day while it was running it wouldnt idle so i just blocked it at 1500 rpm after about 5 mins there was some white grey smoke comming from the defrost vents up by the windshield so i shut it off and now it wont start any more. I tired starting fluid and the engine catches the s. fluid then drops off once its all burned.

Check the compression and get back to us, the vent issue sounds like you have the defroster on.

i did compression test face was fine and both rotors are 100 psi. I was able to get it started before i changed teh LIM gasket but it was still really hard to start been stuck for a few weeks no idea whats up =/.

Sounds like a vacuum leak.

I think there is a vacuum leak somewhere but would it have to be a big leak to rev up then just die?

Yeah mine did the exact same thing. You could start it and then it'd die right away. One time the MAF was not plugged in. Other time the boost sensor solenoid thing wasn't hooked up (vacuum leak). All it takes is a minor leak to **** with the MAF sensor and everything goes to ****.
