After water pump went and threw the serpentine belt, car overheated. Towed home, and it wouldn't even crank over. Cleaned ground center under the ICM, and now starter works, but it won't start...is there something else I'm missing so I don't have to have it towed to a garage?

Check to see if it is getting spark and fuel to the engine. One is most likely missing. If you have both, check engine compression.

are there any other sensors besides the temp, crank, and cam sensors that I've already replaced?
