car wont start
okay guys three weeks ago my car wouldnt start, i changed the crank pos sensor cam pos sensor maf sensor. the plugs where good same as the coils and ignition, put new plugs in and it started. the next day i went to go drive it it started and ran fine, but them started smoking. come to find out the lim gasket failed. so i replace the lim, uim, ui plenum, (thanks greg!) and spark plugs (thrre times cause the fouled out. now everything is together has a fresh set of plugs all them are in the wires snug and the coils are still good and it still wouldnt start, i got some starting fluid and it still woundnt start. idk what else to do, or even what to try i dont have any blown fuses that ive found.
You said your coils are good. What about your ignition module? I'm assuming that your engine does crank. Are you getting spark?
Also, are you getting a CEL (check engine light)? I would put a scanner to your computer even if you do not have a CEL.

ive replaced the ignition module, and yes im getting spark and yes i have a cel
If you have that CEL read, it will point you right to the problem. Look in ebay or Amazon for Bluetooth Scanner. With that and the app on your phone you can get all you diagnostic and live info. I an several other members have it and we love it! They are a lot less expensive that the hand held, and give the same info.
At any rate, you need to find out what the code is and work from there!

Check to be sure your getting fuel. Could be fuel pump or filter. Bad injector. Bad fpr. Security not letting pump kick on. Could be a ton of things. I suggest making sure you have fuel as the first step.
Heres a suggestion only as a diagnostic tool...
unplug your MAF..(Mass airflow sensor) and see if it will start..if it does...Then you have a bad MAF sensor.... I'm sure spraying starting fluid into it didn't help things...
Just a suggestion...
