Engine will crank but not start?

Well the guy who sold me my car came over yesterday with a fuel pump after a couple of hours we got it replaced this morning because we accidentally broke a fuel line but got that replaced, after about ten minutes we got it started up, I shook and wabbled for awhile which i'm guessing is the gas going through the car, I drove it down to the gas station it was pretty slow but I got it there put some in came back home and turned it off about ten minutes later I turned it on and it was perfect except for one thing the connector to the muffler fell off which isn't too big of a deal besides the fact that it sounds like I'm firing off a gun, but the starting up problem is fixed now and I have a friend who's an expert welder who's going to come over later today to reattach it, thanks for the help.

Gentlemen: I can't thank you enough for your help in figuring out my timing chain problem ( no oil slinger remember). Anyway I did the repairs ( got a oil slinger from the junk yard) & all was well for 2 days & it ran perfect. My daughter parked it in her driveway went out about 1 1/2 hours later & it won't start. I almost cried but I did a compression check & is 1=140 lb # 2= 137 lb # 3 = 145 & # 4 - 150. So it's not timming. I put a code reader on it & it was throwing no codes. I shot a little starting fluid in the air cleaner & nothing. It seems like no spark. I changed out the crank sensor still nothing. I checked all fuses & they all checked good.I have a red temp light on when key is on I also have the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light on. From what I understand this light says it's throwing a code but the reader says no. I need your great minds again. Help me please. I am about ready to buy a pack of hot dogs & light her up ! I hear the fuel pump build up pressure & shut off. I'm told on the 95 model they went from OBD 1 to 2 & the code reader wont read it. My dealer is less than fair on their prices so if I can avoid them great. I'll be waiting to hear from you guys.I'm going to donate a little more than last time cause I owe you one. Thanks for your time. Duane PS I had the module checked & it passed I didn't check the coils because with 2 coils I thought if one was bad it would hit on 2 cylinders anyway

How does one check for spark when it's all under the coil pack?

1995 pontiac grand am 2.3l auto 94,356 miles. Intermittant no starts. Loss of power -replaced fuel filter --power to fuel pump -ok. Unable to locate test port on fuel rail to test fuel pressure. Any suggestion.

Yup. Thanks. Had to tee in at at the inlet side of the fuel rail. Fuel pressure 42 psi. Still no start. Will be changing the crankshaft position sensor.

My car for the past 2 days will start acting up like the engine light and the check oil lights will start flashing and the speedometer will start moving up and down the car would die then start back up. Now the car will not start at ll it turns over but will not start

1995 Grand AM GT, 3100 / 3.1 V6 with 104k. It runs great when it is running and seems to never have any problems, but sometimes out of the blue it seems like it is trying to run / crank, but it just won't turn over. It does not appear to be a starter problem as I can hear the starter working fine. I pump the gas and it just seems like it's not getting fuel or won't turn over. After about 20 minutes or some random amount of time, I can usually get it started by pumping the gas. One shop told me I had low fuel pressure and needed a new pump, another told me that a fuel pump wouldn't work intermittently like that, so it must be something else. Had the plugs, wires, and coil pack replaced. Also threw a code for an EGR valve going bad, but it didn't throw that code until sometime after it started this intermittent problem. No other codes noted. Any advice? I really don't have a ton of money to throw into it, but I really need it to be reliable.

Thanks!

Would a lose EVAP Purge valve vacuum line or an EGR valve cause the problem I have described?

I am not sure about when it is having its "problem" or not running/firing. Right now it is running, so it does have fuel and spark. I was just trying to find out if the EGR valve being bad and a vacuum being unplugged from the evap purge valve would cause an intermittent firing / running problem?

Did you find your problem

It's getting gas and the battery is charged, but it's not firing (there's no spark from the sdpsrk plugs)
I've also changed the coils.
