`Hi Dam,
The only thing I can suggest is to check out all your power connections to see if they are getting power ?

Also, check back on your thread ? & see what our expert tech member's suggest...Wish you good luck & a running Monte Carlo.

You gotta give me more to work with here. Is it attempting to start at all? Is it clicking? Do dash lights illuminate...if so which ones stay on? Is your PRND lights working?

Did you swap a cam at all?

Double check the harness that goes to the ICM(the coil pack bracket) 7mm nut if I recall, make sure it's connected. Then follow that down and there should be a ground wire that's grounded to one of the 2 bracket bolts. After that make sure the plug wires are in the right order. And then check your injector connectors.

Oh and also make sure to connect the brake booster vac line to the blower. I've had my fair share of forgetting to reconnect that POS.
