I f you have strong spark, and fuel pressure, than check for injector pulse, or try spraying carb cleaner into the intake see if it pops.

ok,but before i go back to the shop,i have another question.
can it be that the timing is out?i f it is out it shouldnt start at all,right?
becuase when it does start,it runs great,also what if the spark plug wires are in the wrong spots,again it shouldnt start right?
thanx again

If the plugs were an issue or the timing , it would not run " great".

Unplug the 6 wire connector from the ICM & see if the vehicle starts, if it does, the ICM is fine. Problem in ECM.
