I have a 1998 Chevy Malibu. The engine turns over but won't start. I changed the fuel pump and the car would start, but cut off after about 20 minutes of driving. Then I changed the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor. The car won't even start up now and the fuel pump is no longer coming on. I then go get another fuel pump, but this fuel pump is not coming on also and the car still won't start. What could my problem be now?

It could be the security system shutting the vehicle down. If the security light is on, it will need to go to a dealer to identify the problem. If there is no light, check the fuel pump relay. Also, make sure you are getting spark to the engine. See if it will start with starting fluid to confirm the fuel system is the problem.
