i have this car that will turn over but wont start, I have already taken it to 3 mechanic shops and each one has diagnosed a different problem so I repaired the vehicle as each one has diagnosed. I have put so much money into this car and it still won't run. It has a new fuel filter, fuel pump, control module, crank sensor and starter and yet it still won't start whatsoever. Please help. I am a single mother and can't be without a car let alone afford any more trips to a mechanic shop. I am in the hole because of them misdiagnosing the problem.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
