My car is a 2001 chevy impala 3.4 with 70,000 miles. I have replaced my starter, my ignition switch behind the key and tumbler, checked all my fuses/relays and had my security code reprogramed, The car will crank over and sounds normal, I took it to a mechanic and he cleared all the codes and checked the firing on the plugs and made sure it had 60 psi of fuel pressure. but it still wont start. do you have any more Ideas PLEASE. or should I just run it into the river.

Did your mechanic check the valve and ignition timing and injection pulses. you can have all the correct fuel pressure but if the injector/s are not opening no fuel will enter the combustion chamber for ignition

To get a vehicle to fire and go, it needs 4 ingredients 1. cranking speed 2. Compression 3. fuel 4. spark and you're probably missing 2 of it, that is compression and fuel
