It cranks but wont start. So far we have replaced the ecm, battery, cam shaft postition sensor new fuel filter spark plugs and distributor. And it all started one day the battery dies and then was unable to jump it. Possibly there are some troubleshooting steps

So it sounds like the engine is not cranking (Starter operation) correct? I would make sure the engine is not locked up, these videos will help us see what is going on.
