I have a 99 Olds Bravada. Turns over but will not start. Tried starting fluid and still turns over but no start. Recently replaced fuel pump, battery, fuel filter. Can hear fuel pump working. It has ran fine latelty. Any ideas?

Hello, This sounds like a classic crankshaft angle sensor failure. The engine wont start because it has no spark. Here is a guide that will give you an idea of what it will be like for you when you change the sensor out.

When I went out to start checking things today, I popped the hood, and turned the key and guess what? It started right up as if nothing was wrong. I drove because I had to work today for a few hours, but left the car run while my wife stayed in it. Everything seemed ok. When we got home I tried restarting it and it didn't start. So I did what you suggested and guess what? It started! Thanks again. This site rocks
