90 Sunbird Wont Start

[charmedgirl]

Hi people,
I didnt know exactly where to put this at so if i put wrong just let me know. Anyways that being said i could really use some help on my car. I was driving it one weekend and it was running fine i go out the next day and it wont start. My dad is not an offical mechanic but he knows alot about cars but this one has stumped him. We have changed the module, fuel fillter, fuel pump, distributor, starter, battery, and alternater. We are stuck with this car so if u have any ideas of what the problem is please dont hesitate to post.
Thanks

We need more information.

When you say it won't start, does it grind when you turn the key or nothing at all? Does it start but then die after you release the ignition? Before slinging more parts at it you might want to get it to a shop instead, it could be something relatively inexpensive.

The car will just crank and not start. If you put a cap full of gas in the throttle body itself it will start and then die and wont start again. Does that help?

Sounds like clogged fuel injectors, fuel lines, or an empty gas tank? I'm not trying to sound funny, sometimes it is the simplest stuff that goes wrong. Try putting a gallon of gas in the tank and try starting it again.

Ok we checked the fuel lines and we got a noid light to check the injector and it there is no light. I have a half of tank of gas in the car lol so i know i have gas. If its the injector how would i unclog it? If i need to buy a new one how much would that cost?

When you say that he check the injector with the noid light did he crank the engine to see if the light flashed?

If the light dont flash then you problem is computer related.

Yes he did and we found out its not the injector at least we dont think. lol We talked to a mechanic that is an old friend of ours and he said if it wasent the distributor then it must be the emc or ecm i dont remember exactly. So we changed that and the car still wont start. We are about out of options. Any more ideas?

We are going to put on a new one this friday so hopefully it will start since i want to go to kansas city for the weekend lol hopefully it help. Thanks for the help again. Appreciate it alot. Talk to u later.
