Replaced throttle position sensor, cam sensor, plugs ignition coil, wires, injectors and checked fuel pump and filter. Still no start. It's no longer give code for throttle position sensor but now its a mil code on transmission? It sounds like it wants to start but lacking the power to do so.

There are a number of things that will cause this so we need to start with checking the basics.

Let's spray starter fluid in the intake and see if the vehicle starts for a couple seconds.

Next we need to pull a spark plug and hold it against the plug and crank the engine to check for spark.

Next we need to find out what code that was. Just because the code is for the transmission doesn't mean it wouldn't cause this. So let's get the code and check to see if we have fuel and spark and go from there. Thanks
