Default wont start...tried everything i can think of

car wont start, battery has 13 volts, 120psi compression across all 4 cylinders, spark to all 4 plugs, fuel pump is priming itself, replaced the coil...any ideas anyone?....im thinking the ecu...if anyone has a p28 or p08 ecu within 10 miles of 92595, that i could just plug into my car to test, ill give you 5 dollars for driving here and letting me plug your ecu into my car to see if it works

Are your fuel injectors Clicking and spraying fuel? Fuel pump running just means the pressure is there, if the injectors arent squirting it won't run.

When you turn the key you said you here the fuel prime right and then when you try to crank it what does it do.. Does it turn over or no?

yes the injectors are clicking open and close, i know because i used the old screwdrive to ear trick, and i pulled the line off of the outlet of the fuel filter and fuel is coming out...i think its down to map sensor, or ecu...i pulled the ecu out and nothing looked fried...im about to go get some new plugs

I had this same issue the other day, it would crank and crank and crank and no go. I knew the grounds were good it was getting gas etc etc. I pushed the clutch and gas to the floor and cranked that bitch over and she finally came to life. Dunno just my $0.02, ill tak em back if ya want

In order for a engine to start it needs Fuel, spark, compression. U say u have all 3 now it gets more complicated. I don't think its your ecu because u say u have all 3. so I'm suck, Are u backfiring at all or smell gas?? try spraying starter fluid into the IM and start it then other than that IDUNNO o ya replace your plugs and rotor!
