1997 chevy cavalier won't start Sign In

car was running fine and now it won't start. I've changed the battery, plugs, wires, ignition coils. I've done the obd test (no codes returned), ignition module test, fuel injectors test and still nothing. can anyone give me any ideas on what to check next?

It basically takes just three things to at least get some reaction -- 1. Spark, 2. Fuel, and 3. air (kind of a given) add timing and compresstion, T

What’s the matter Tom did your crystal ball break again? Mine is kind of acting up as well! I can’t even make out what color the car is with this one any more?
You know as well as me that if it’s a green Cavalier then forget it; those green one’s were junk right from the factory.
But that’s still no excuse; why can’t you tell this person what’s wrong with their car?
Look at all the information that they haven’t provided!
 Does the check engine light come on?
 Did they check for spark?
 Did they check fuel pressure?
 Did they check for injector pulse?
 Does the engine have compression?
 Does the engine crank over normally?

All we do know is that they spent a bunch of money and time replacing parts that didn’t fix the thing. LOL

I wouldn’t let this person get to you Tom; I don’t take people to serious that don’t even take the time to register to the board.

Sorry GUEST; maybe come back with a little more information and loose the chip on your shoulder and we’d be more then happy to help?
Dan.

I have a model 44RX crystal ball. Does anyone know where the battery charger plugs into it?
