Re: 1998 cavalier 2.2 wont start

Ok,
there is no spark at any plugs
I'll assume that you did use a spark tester to check this.

there is no fuel coming from injecters AT ALL
I'll assume that you placed an injector test light on here and it did not blink. The following items may be at fault.
a.) Bad crankshaft sensor.
b.) Bad connector, bad connection, bad wire or fuse.
c.) Bad Electronic Control Module.

Since you have already replaced the crankshaft sensor, that problem is nill.
You have already double checked all of your connections, wires and fuse and found all to be ok.
c.) is your only option. Replace your ECM.

the light on module stays bright while cranking
The problem is one of three items here.
1.) Bad ignition module.
2.) Bad connector or connention or electrical wire, or fuse.
3.) Bad electronic control module.

Obviously you already have a new ignition module, so likelyhood of that being bad is nill. You already double checked for No. 2 and found all to be good.
No. 3 is your unlucky number. Replace the ECM.
No. 3 is your only other option - replace your ECM.

Your correct Nathan, pull your ECM out. Call your local parts store to see if they have the ability too confirm this for you. Generally they will test it for free provided you purchase the replacement from them. BOL
