won't run same as eveybody else

hows it going nice site read several of the post and spent alot of money and car still does not start so here we go its a 1999 oldsmobile intrigue 3.5l 130796 miles was given to me for a hundred dollars i heard it run a year ago, ran like it was full of pressure inside the motor, no power almost like a diesel sound car sat around for 6 months friend put in new plugs wires (boots) crankshaft sensor still ran like crap checked compression all the same can't remember what it was over 100 car sat for another few months now i have it, will not even start now pulled injector rail off back 3 cylinders to check for fuel and those three cyl. tried to fire, switched the coil packs from front to back and the same three cyl. tried to fire wihout injectors down in ports ,seem to have spark and fuel but won't run drained the gas put new gas in,changed the camshaft sensor and the ignition lock clyinder car won't even fire still ,went threw the 30 minute learning process with the new key. totally lost only thing i believe left is the computer no codes are in system they were cleared before i got the car looking for something i did wrong or haven;t done yet thanks glenn

-----I gave up reading and trying to decipher this mishmash massive run on sentence after the third line. :banghead:

Good luck.

could drop the exhaust ..might be a bad cat.converter

gutted the catalitic converter, sorry about the large sentence

Have you bothered to check the fuel pressure with an actual gauge and such? If so what sort of numbers are you getting?

The only other thing that comes to mind is ignition timing terribly off....but im not sure how these engines are timed exactly...Im sure a mechanical base time with the timing chain, and then advance/retard via computer.

fuel pressure was good thanks
