My '97 Chevy Lumina won't start. A first, it would turn over and then stall out and now it won't start at all. I even tried to jump the car, but that only seemed to make it worse. The battery is fine, but I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. The fuel pump and filter were replaced about three or four months ago, and an engine with 60,000 miles was put in two months ago. I would really like to fix it myself, but could you help me out with what is wrong? How much will this cost me?

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
