Really Mad Malibu!

Hi guys. I'm at my wits end with this damn car. I have a 2003 Chevy Malibu I bought used about 3 years ago. Everything has been running great up until 2 nights ago. I drove the car pretty much most of the day without issue. I stopped at a buddies house for 30-45 minutes and came back to a car that won't start. My friends dad is a pretty decent mechanic and has done lots of work for his and my families so I had him take a look but he's even stumped. I have replaced the 24X crankshaft position sensor, ignition control module, all 3 ignition coils, plug wires, spark plugs, and the 7X crankshaft position sensor is within tolerance. No anti-theft or "Theft System" lights are present in the dash. Fuel pressure reads ~54psi. What else can I do please help!

You did a lot of work in 1 days. It's time to get a professional diagnosis.

what lights are on the dash. That stay on? I know that you have the pass lock2 in that car because my 1999 has it. If you see a light that says security then I know what your problem is.

I guess I would ask the question are you getting spark?
