1989 Chevy Celebrity 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

we have changed the crankshaft sensor & the timing chain & gears, & spark plugs. What else could be wrong with the car? It was running fine until last Saturday. It started & ran fine cut it off & went to start up again & it would not start the motor just spins & won't start.

Have the ignition module check (free at most autoparts stores).
They typically fail when hot.

Well for an engine to run you need 3 things. Fuel, spark, and compression. You can run a compression check by hooking up the compression gauge and crank it over 3 times it shouldnt be lower than 90psi which I bet you have comression. Then check for fuel pressure by putting a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel line you should have no less than 50 psi there. If you have compression and fuel then like the other guy said check your ignition module
