1991 Camaro will not start

For full features; Go to 1991 Camaro will not start

So, i'm new to this forum and i'll just go ahead and extend my deepest sympathy for the length of this post. I just do not have any clue as to what to do at this point. I have a 1991 Camaro 3.1V6 i bought about a year ago, and it has been sitting in my garage the whole time. It will not start. I've replaced every part i can think of from a running parts car in troubleshooting, and replaced parts with new ones that i thought may need it. Still no cranky, except for the owner's outlook. :banghead: The firing order is correct, fuel is getting to the fuel rail, bypassing the diagnostic A and B posts result in a 43 code flash (knock sensor). The funny thing about that is the cooling fan comes on when i short the diagnostic terminals. Plus, i don't think the knock sensor would keep the motor from cranking completely, just make it run rough. So, after the ECM, injectors, fuel rail, distributor, plugs and wires, intake and fuel injector harness, fuel pump, fuel filter, and sensors have all been replaced i'm still at square 1. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated, and would save the car from imminent destruction. It's a very nice looking car, by the way.

Won't cranky?? Do you mean is doesn't crank? Or, doesn't start? Big difference. posted by  thefonz

Sorry, posted in maintenance. posted by  Undecided

have you figured out what you're missing yet? air, fuel or spark?

ps, the cooling fan coming on at that time is normal... posted by  dodger65
