2000 Pontiac Grand am 2.4L DOHC cranks but wont start. Has good spark at spark plugs and good injector pulse plenty of fuel pressure. It also wont start with starting fluid. Any help? |
new spark plugs are gas fouled.....I'll put new ones in tommorrow. I
have thought about timing chain except the engine sounds typical when
it cranks over. None of the tell tell sounds of an engine out of cam
timing. The security light is not on or flashing and that system
appears to be funtioning properly.

I had a similar issue with my '89 T/A GTA. It turned out to be a computer
malfunction where it was reading a WOT condition all the time and dumping
loads of fuel into the chambers.
