P0430=Catalyst System Low Efficiency Bank 2
P0496=Evaporative Emission System Flow During Non-Purge.
U1016=Lost Communication with Engine/Powertrain Control Module
B0561=Not listed
The U1016 might be related to the no start, but from the rest of the description, I doubt it. More likely it's either a faulty battery, starter, or both. The interior lights dimming tells me the starter is drawing more current than the battery can supply. You need to get that fixed first.

The same thing is happening to my car: I do not know what it is, but someone told me it might be the crankshaft position sensor

Crankshaft position sensor would be highly doubtful. The same codes means I have the same diagnosis.

You should have a specific amount of pressure produced by the pump. You check it at the fuel rail.

I replaced the starter, checked the battery and altenator: All are good:

The problem is cranking: It is the next item on my list: The only code I have is for one O2 sensor. It is unlikely it would cause a cranking problem.

Car engine cranks over but won't start. It has 55 psi fuel pressure and has spark at the plugs. It acts like it is trying to start but just wont. I tried spraying a little starting fluid to see if it would hit on that and it didn't. I am pretty sure injectors are pulsing because after cranking for a few seconds you can smell fuel out the exhaust.

By cranking do you mean the engine being turned when the key is turned to the start position, or do you mean the engine starting up and going 'vroom'?

If you mean the engine being turned when the key is turned, check the starter relay in the underhood relay box. I have included an image showing the location of the relay.

If it won't start with starting fluid, either you have a timing issue, low compression, or a weak spark. Recheck the spark. See if it is good hot blue snapping spark. If it is, check timing and compression. Here is a guide to help you get the job done.

That is the problem. It should be around 50psi. If you give me the exact model and engine size, I can get that info for you.

Replaced the starter, starter relay, battery is less than one year old
and I had it checked three times, checked alternator three times. Replaced the plugs and insulators.

The situation is intermittent. It usually happens when the car has been
cranked three or four times within an a one hour period of time. The sound is a clicking sound and no start. Click! Click! Click!
Had new starter checked again also.

It had a good hot spark do you think a crankshaft position sensor could cause this problem?

This is a battery or connection problem. Load test the battery and check the voltage at the starter.

Yes, a bad crank sensor can cause this. Recheck the spark and make sure it is good. Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job.

Here is the part on Amazon for $31.00 AC DELCO

Okay, recheck the spark and let me know what you find. Also, since this vehicle has coil over ignition packs, make sure all cylinders are getting spark and get back to us so we can keep helping you.

55 to 60 psi. That would blast out at you.
