i DRIVE A 99 CADILLAC DEVILLE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION FOR GAS. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND TRIED TO START IT, ALL THE MOTOR WOULD DO WAS TURN OVER. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED TURNING OVER AND WON'T DO ANYTHING NOW. I RECENTLY HAD THE BATTERY, GASKITS, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED BUT IT STILL WON'T SAY ANYTHING. WHAT ELSE COULD BE THE PROBLEM?

If it won't do anything now, it sounds like you cranked it until the battery died. It will need to be chargd at this time. Then when cranking is restored, you will need to check for spark, and fuel pressure. Try spraying some starter fluid in the air inlet to the engine. If it fires and runs for a few seconds, it wil lindicate that you have spark, but no fuel. Then it could either be fuel pressure, or injector pulse. In most cases, if you have spark, you have pulse.
