I have a 1996 Chevy Monte Carlo that I’m trying to get running. I recently took it to an auto shop and they could not get it running. They checked the Timing chain, fuel pressure, ignition module, coils; engine compression was good, added new fuel, fixed some wiring but could not get it to start. The engine will turn, its getting spark but will not catch and start up. The batter is new. Do you think that you can help me out?

Start by checking the fuel pressure if its within specs if okay verify the valve and ignition timing and then get back with me-

Fuel and ignition system are good-check the valve and ignition timing

BTW fuel pressure is good but are the injectors pulsing providing fuel to the cylinders
