I drove my Saturn in to work one morning and it seemed sort of sluggish when pushing the gas. That afternoon when I went to leave the car would not start. It will turn over and just keep churning but never start.
We hae changed the Crankshaft position sensor, we are sure there in fuel passing as there is fuel inthe resevoirs, the spark plugs have been changed also.
The car will not even fire when spraying ether directly into the engine.
Any suggestions?

Engine cranking, can you visually check for spark at the plugs? Do you have an injector pulse, use a noid lite.

We were able to see spark at the plugs however not much of a spark so we went ahead and changed the plugs out.

How would we check for the the injectoor pulse?

A noid lite plugs into the injector plug. Engine cranking the lite flashes, if there is a pulse?

If you have done a lot of cranking, make sure the battery has a full charge.
