Im pretty sure the fuel system is the problem maybe injectors maybe fuel pump...maybe my pcm is fried....im not sure...I want to get this narrowed down as far as i possibly can before it goes to the shop on monday... All I know for sure is none of my fluids are leaking together so I dont believe its a blown gasket and Im getting real good spark and tons of cold air through the intake...no blown fuses or relays. Everything electrical works fine. new plugs, wires, pcv, fuel filter, battery, alternator, crank sensor, battery cables & ground... cleaned ground buses, disconnected cat from exhaust still wont run...Seems I have no fuel pressure at the rail. cant test if for sure but when i push on the schrader im getting a couple drops of gas come out. Tried spraying starting fluid into the intake still wont make it run....When it does start up its running at a little less than 500rpm spitting and sputtering....any pressure on the accelerator will stall it instantly.

It sounds like it'* your fuel system. I'm sure the PCM is fine. I'm still leaning towards the filter, pump, or clogged injectors. One thing you can try is dump a can of seafoam in the gas tank. It will take a while to get it all the way threw the system to clean out the injectors and such. This may help, and is a cheep fix if it does work.

Well I got her back today. I dunno what they did but every sensor and relay and module in the car is new...but they didnt charge me for it. And they said the harmonic balancer was the problem...doesnt really make sense to me because the just changed my crank sensor a few weeks ago then all of a sudden my HB is messed up? and I was getting no fuel but plenty of spark....$281...i dont know....but it works so im happy...
EDIT: forgot to mention i picked up a gatorback also today and it instantly solved my belt squeal issues....absolutely amazing!
