They have tried everything its not getting fire somewhere. Could you list somethings that could be causing it not to fire. We're trying to get ideas on what it could be

They have tried everything its not getting fire somewhere.Are you referring this as No Spark?
Jul 11, 2011 at 3:42 PM
the spark plugs are good they have replaced the whole fuel system, they have replaced the crank sensor, they have tested all the wires, the fuses, pretty much everything\

They have pretty much ran out of ideas of what it could be. could it possibly be one of the computers in the engine possibly

Check the valve and ignition timing and then get back with some results-
Jul 11, 2011 at 3:49 PM
The valves are good and the timing is good

I want you to do an engine compression check and give me the readings before I answer you again-
Jul 11, 2011 at 4:07 PM
the compression was 185
Jul 11, 2011 at 4:09 PM
Are you getting a snapping blue spark from the plugwires while engine is being crank over- and also is the fuel pressure within specs-give me the readings
Jul 11, 2011 at 4:15 PM
the pressure is 42
Jul 11, 2011 at 4:51 PM
yes we're getting a blue spark. yes the fuel pressure is normal
Jul 11, 2011 at 4:52 PM
The fuel pressure is okay-what about a snapping blue spark
Jul 11, 2011 at 4:59 PM
yes it has a snapping blue spark
Jul 11, 2011 at 5:07 PM
185psi of compression???
You got a snapping blue spark and the correct fuel pressure and injectors are pulsing-its time to check the valve and ignition timing
If both fuel and spark is present-check the valve and ignition timing, this will lead you to problems
with compression and valves opening and closing at the wrong time/broken or jumped timing
belt/chain.

They have checked all that and it's all working good
Jul 11, 2011 at 5:28 PM
yes compression is 185 psi
Jul 11, 2011 at 5:30 PM
This is as far as I can take you-Something don't jive here-You got compression, fuel and spark and still don't want to combust-I'm confused here-
Jul 11, 2011 at 5:37 PM
could it be a computer in the engine
Jul 11, 2011 at 6:47 PM
Could be the car computer
