The car has new fuel pump, crank sensor, plugs and wires, fuel filter, The pump is running and i have fuel at the rail i also have spark. If i go out to start it the first time it cranks it almost wants to start but after that it just cranks.yes there is a check engine light but its a 95 so i cant get a code reader anywhere.....any suggestions maybe the cam sensor?

lost power?? electrical or engine running??

i would start with a fuel pump pressure test. you need 40 lbs to make it work.

start with the basics here.
