It ran for a few days and then wouldn't start. Everything else works, it just won't fire. We replaced the Engine Computer, the cam sensor, the crank sensor, and starter relay, and nothing helps. It just won't turn over.

Hi,

When you indicate it won't run, do you mean the starter engages but it won't start, or does it crank and not start?

If it is cranking but not starting, have you checked for spark and fuel to the engine? If not, try this and let me know what happens. See if it starts for a couple of seconds and then stalls when you use starting fluid. If it does, then we know it's a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check for ignition spark. Here is a link that explains how to do it:

Let me know if the starter is engaging or not, if spark and fuel have been checked, and can you explain the heading, "Ignition Keys" and then, " It ran for a couple of days..." Were you working on something specific prior to this issue or is this something new?

Let me know.

Joe
