Eighty Eight from hell

I drive a 94' olds eighty eight 3.8 with 110k on it. Recently it died, and wont fire again. It will start randomly, but dies within 10 minutes. Ive replaced the ECM, oil pressure switch, fuel filter, crank shaft position sensor, and am about to change cam shaft position sensor. It stalls with no rhyme or reason, and im about to give up on it. The fuel pressure is at the rail, it has spark, but wont run. Any advice greatly appreciated !!

Welcome to AF. When it won't start, good spark to all cylinders, do the injectors pulse, so far you have replaced parts with no diagnostics performed. Will it start with carb cleaner sprayed into the intake?

Re: Eighty Eight from hell

Diagnostic gave codes for camshaft / crankshaft. Didnt think it was camshaft, so as I said I replaced the crank shaft sensor. That didnt work so camshaft is the only thing i can think of next (or maybe ignition switch.) Didnt spray intake because i dont want to damage mass airflow sensor. This is bizarre ive never had a car so stubborn

Question Re: Eighty Eight from hell

Ok you you will continue to replace parts till one fixes it. The advice given directs definitive diagnostic steps, without doing this any advice here is useless! Spark, injector pulse, are they there?
