Car wont start, changed coils, batt, alternator, CPS,

1999 Saturn sl2 wont start. It will crank but not start, changed the coils, igntion module, CPS, coolant sensor, battery and alternator, spark plugs still no start. I checked the spark plugs but getting no spark from plugs, or coils. about 2 months ago the wipers starting going off by themselves, that stopped for a while then the car started shutting off and not wanting to start. Sometimes it took about 15 mintues of cranking then it would start. that is when I started changing all the parts and now its just sitting in driveway cranking but not starting. Fuel pump is good i hear it and smell it.

I have a 1998 chevy malibu I turned it on one morning to warm it up went inside to finish getting ready came outside and car was off. Then it didn't want to crank up at all. Now I've changed sensors,...

check timing belt to see if its broken. Check for spark at the plugs. Check for compression with a compression checker from a parts store like Advance or Auto Zone. They will let you borrow it free. The car has to have 3 things. Compression, spark and fuel to start. If one of those 3 is missing, it cant start.

My 3.0 ranger cranks but will not start is not getting fire to plugs changed coil pack cps crank senser what else could it be

Sounds to me like a bad control module. The control module controls the order of which the coil pack fires. If that is bad you get no spark. Seems to me that it should have been your second option right after replacing the coil pack.

1995 Saturn SL2 DOHC motor No start fuel injector issue.

i would have to say first check the fuel injectors fuse in the under hood fuse block if blown replace it,sometimes the fuel injector harness rubs thru anywhere from where the harness comes thru the firewall all the way up to the injectors,,,if fuse is good and no bare wires to injectors,check the wires to the ignition module,,,,and if all checks ok,i would replce the ignition module,,you could have spark from it but it could not be sending the signal back to the pcm to fire the injectors,,,and if all that fails try a pcm,but i think youll find it before that,,i seen this 3 times and each time it was a wire rubbed thru near the fuel rail and it grounds out and blows the injector fuse,
hope this helped

My 1999 saturn sl2 will not start. It cranks, fuel pump is working but I no spark from the ignition coils or spark plugs. A few months ago the wipers started acting funny (going off when they wanted to)...

It could be, and almost definitely is very possible its the brain ( ECU or Electronic control module) Will all the things you said it is doing that is probably the problem. Caution : Computer problems are EXPENSIVE
