ok no offence but this isnt a bitch session... I Dont care what any1 here has to say about the comments... if people have to come here and say what they think about terminology you have too much time on your hands... thanks!

I agree, but don't attack someone and say he doesn't know what he's talking about when your terminology was mis-leading. Let's all stick to the purpose of this forum, helping people fix their problems.

It is the crank sensor without a doubt.Too bad people like
i/2pnt cbonnesse whom cant even spell, get correct info,
cant determine to use it, and cant tell difference between cranking,turning and running chastises someone whom is correct. 95 bonnie sc

one thing that i found. i had an issue with this on my car. ended up being the ignition switch. i could crank the engine, it just wouldnt fire or stay running. ended up the ignition switch was burned out.

The module is all about making the car fire, but has nothing to do with it "turning over", which is what he was referring to. Get your terminology straight before you tell someone they don't know what they are talking about, or next time they won't help you when they have your answer. by the way, the crank sensor is a common problem with 3800's, and would be my guess as to your problem.

Sorry, your way of thinking is wrong. If it turns over (cranks) and doesnt start, then it turns over. (starter ok)
If it doesnt start then it doesnt start.
