02 Monte 3.4 cranks has spark and fuel no start
Hi everyone been a while since I’ve been on here, but finding myself once again the owner of Monte, I find myself in need of help.
I changed the head gaskets on the car, something I’ve done a half dozen times on 3.1-3.4, and the last three were Montes. The car was running when I tore into it, and I have spark, and 50psi fuel pressure key on, and 55-57 cranking. Also won’t start on starting fluid. Thought the cam sensor tested bad, but replacing it did nothing. Have checked all connections and everything is tight. The car was garaged, everything under the hood is pristine. I’m usually the guy everyone comes to, so I am really scratching my head. Hoping someone will give me the “hey dumbass!” moment. Thanks in advance h

Any lights? Is the message center showing a "Security" message? Check it with a scan tool? How do you know for sure you have spark?

Thanks for the reply. I actually had my own aha moment. I had been working on my daughters Firebird, and had her firing order going through my brain, so I was thinking right side even left side odd. Had determined in my brain it was a timing, so I checked the wires again, and kicked myself in the ***! It sucks getting old. Lol. Car runs great now, Thanks. h
Good luck
