Default HELP!!! My Bonnie won't start anymore!!

HELP!!! I’m at wits end! I have a ‘92 SE, three week ago I finally had my car running after a whole year sitting in my garage. When she first started, she was running rough, at idle, then she went very hot. I then turned the engine off, and that was the last she ran. The engine rotates very smoothly with no internal noise. Now here is the fun part. I replaced my whole ignition system because of desperation and aggravation . New crank sensor, new cam sensor, new ignition module, new wires and plugs, new coils and a battery. STILL THERE IS NO SPARK TO THE PLUGS. NO FIRE!!!! Can somebody give me an idea what could have happen? I know she can run again, and I know it is something stupid!

Are you sure you have no spark, or is it just not starting and you assume no spark. Did you pull a wire and plug, put wire back on plug and put plug on a ground and turn over engine? If you have a spark the problem is not electrical. My first thought was fuel filter. You said it sat for a year. Bad or seperated fuel could have gummed up the filter, lines, or injectors.

Did you check the wiring to from the cam and crank to ICM? Sometimes they can get cut on the pullies if doing work in those areas. The only other thing I can think of is the PCM. Both could cause the problems.

Did you check for codes. Anytime I have had a "no start" due to something electrical, I have had a code. OBD1 codes aren't great but they are better than nothing.

Have you checked the ground(*) under the carpet next to your left foot (when you're sitting in the driver'* seat)?

hey i had the same problem with my 90 vette.. they use the same bullsh** multec injector. ohm check all the injectors with a digital ohm meter. if any injector has less than 10 ohms they are shorted and will cause the ccm to shut down the ecu. Then call jon at fuel injector connection 770 888 1662 and get a set of Bosch injectors I got the design 3 and put them in. I bet thats it/ he saved me a bundle
