Have replaced fuel pump, ignition coils, starter, and battery, all new. The only other components are the cam and crank sensors, ECM and/or PCM. Help!

Hello,

Okay, so instead of throwing parts at the problem, let's diagnose just what is going on here. An engine needs three things to fire, 1) Fuel. 2)Spark (delivered at the proper time). 3) Compression. If these three things are present, your vehicle's engine has no choice but to start. So let's first verify that your vehicle is receiving spark to the spark plugs. I have included a link down below for you to go to.

Thanks,
