First I have a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire with a brand new Fuel Filter,Brand new Fuel sending unit/Fuel pump,Aftermarket Custom Turbo kit, Venom High Flow Fuel rail,Greddy E~Manage,NGK Iridium Plugs. (Also Automatic)
It won't start, was running fine cut off once during Friday then ran fine again afterwards thought nothing of it However we stayed up late as hell like 3am that night trying to get everything ready/Finished up New 6x9's, Buffing Etc., for Carlisle which I was already pre-registered for but It choose to not run on Saturday morning around 7:30am when we tried to leave then we called various people which included mechanics,friends anyone with some knowledge not like we don't have it ourselves but at this point we sure couldn't figure it out after I though it was the fuel pump relay and that didn't work either that is, Then we tried beating on the gas tank with a rubber mallot to try to get the pump to kick on which at that time it didn't seem to be doing either but that also did not work Now I've replaced Fuel sending unit/Fuel pump,Fuel filter hasn't worked yet hopefully it starts in the morning "but my hope isn't wasting away on that thought" It trys to start it cranks like all hell but won't turn over or completely start we even checked the spark plugs they appear white & dry no fuel residue I will have to check them tommorrow again but any experiances or ideas are welcome at thie point cuz I'm 2 steps away from getting bent & blowin the b!tch up! Thanx,in advance to anyone. I already asked ScruffDog but I may call him with a few more q's tommorrow.
When you were playing in the engine compartment, did you manage to somehow unplug the crank sensor?
I did an oil change once and somehow managed to do just that, and the car would turn over, but not start. I plugged it in and it started...Go Figure!
Good Luck!

I'll check it, Thanx! "Anyone else just in case?"
Only time my car did that was when a friend asked permission to check which wire was live when switch was on in the Ignition Module, I said ok , so he unplugged the connector and stick a sharp tester... he found the wire and connected the Control module again. Later on when I was living the car cranked but didīnt start, so I unplugged the mentioned connector and made the contacts tighter, it started immediately.
