the gm manual says you have to disconnect the feed to the rail and install an adapter. you could try spaying starter fluid in the tb if it tries to fire, then its fuel not some sensor. also try moving the the throttle while cranking, sometimes its a dead spot at idle on the tps or iac issue, and putting the throttle on bypasses those

Car should start with carb cleaner sprayed into the intake, if you have compression and spark.....

This an Ecotec engine?

Check for codes?

This is just a stab in dark but had a simular sitaation with 2001 malibu recently. Check to be sure security light (if you have one ) is not flashing when switch is on. If it is , turn switch on and wait till light quits flashing ( could take several minutes) when light quits flashing turn switch off then try to start.I know it sounds weird but we had that situation and it took a wrecker trip to shop to fig.it out.

Is this a "4" motor? Have you checked compression?
