2000 Grand am cranks but won't start
F350
at spark plugs and good injector pulse plenty of fuel pressure. It
also wont start with starting fluid. Any help?
F350
Additional Info: Compression reading are 180 psi in all cylinders and
new spark plugs are gas fouled.....I'll put new ones in tommorrow. I
have thought about timing chain except the engine sounds typical when
it cranks over. None of the tell tell sounds of an engine out of cam
timing. The security light is not on or flashing and that system
appears to be funtioning properly.

I had a similar issue with my '89 T/A GTA. It turned out to be a computer
malfunction where it was reading a WOT condition all the time and dumping
loads of fuel into the chambers.

Lee were there any signs like gas smell or tps readings out of
spec ......and what was your final solution to the problem? Thanks

Big-time gas smell. Don't remember the TPS issue. They replaced the computer
free under the emissions warranty.
