which sensor keeps your car from starting?
WHAT HAPPENED? I was going 35. I pressed on the gas. No raise of rpms. I got a backfire. it kept idling so i slowly made my way to the side of the road. I immediately shut it off. And then tried restarting it, and now it just cranks and cranks. and no fire
MY TIMING WORKS. i have spark (bright blue snap) i Have fuel pressure, I have Fuel. i have compression. The pump buzzes and primes. When i get it timed right like 1 cylinder will fire. Then it will stop and keep cranking. I once got all the cylinders to fire and it didnt stay running.
THINGS IVE REPLACED: the crankshaft sensor, the distributor, the distributor cap, The spark plugs, the coil, my alternator, the cam shaft sensor, and i cleaned out my throttle body.
THINGS I NEED TO KNOW. What sensor keeps a car from starting? How do i check the injector pulse? And what could cause this?

If you have fuel, spark and compression it will start. Ignition Switch and ASD Relay. You might as well change the MAP Sensor I think you missed that one last time. Have you checked your fuses? Is there gas in your tank?
