90 Lumina 2.5 4L cant start

Hello,

i am a DIY mechanic in need of help. the problem seems like it is simple for some one who know more then i do.

i changed out basically the whole ignition system a while ago, including: coils, Timing control module. plugs & Plug wires. even the crank censor that fit on the back of the plate you put the coils and TCM on. IT was running great. Like a champ. dispite the seals needing redone.

Than after a month to oh about 5-8. not sure. the speedometer started acting up. it just wouldnt work. but then it did. and than not. Most of the time not.

i told myself that i would see about it closer to payday.
Well it truned out to be that way for over at lease a month. (I know, I know, but things cost)

So then the timing startes up like it did before. So i took off all the new timing gear. had the coils and TCM tested. they all was good.

I check to codes (OBD1) but nothing, I mean Not even a 12 came up. regetly i got silly and tried turnng the car over with the vain hopes it would be a loose wire. Sad to say the battry died in vain. So Lumina sets in the driveway waiting to be repraired. Please if you have any clue. Or have delt with this issue before please feel free.

Thank you for taking the time to read this long boring thread.
