Hi,

If the engine is turning over, you have spark and fuel, timing is correct, and there is compression, it has no choice but to run. One of those isn't getting where it needs to be.

You have replaced several parts already. I need to know the following:

1) Have you checked fuel pump pressure?

2) Have you confirmed ignition spark to the spark plugs?

3) Have you checked for an injector pulse?

4) Have you confirmed engine timing is correct?

5) Is there proper engine compression?

Let me know what you have already checked so I know which way to lead you at this point. I will watch for your reply

Take care,
Joe

Is the starter turning the engine? If it is, the crankshaft has to turn. The flywheel that the starter turns is connected to the crankshaft. Does it sound normal when cranking? Can you record it and upload it for me to hear?

Note that the crankshaft pulley is the big one at the very bottom of the engine. It drives the serpentine belt.

I attached a pic for you to see. In the pic, they have a puller attached, but you can see how it is located at the bottom of the engine.

Could you mean the camshaft isn't turning?

Let me know. Also, if you could record the engine cranking, I may be able to identify by how it sounds what is happening.

I will watch for your reply.
