1997 Grand Prix GTP, flex plate change out

[Scottydoggs]

I just tried it and the scanner sees live data during cranking. How could that be if the ECU is dead?

have you checked for fuel and spark yet? one is likely missing from this equation.

a shot of starting fluid in the intake while cranking it?

what happened here? you pulled the engine to swap the flex and now it wont fire up? got all the plugs back on, grounds hooked up and all that happy horse chit.

I checked fuel and spark in the very beginning. I was about to check the injectors to see if they were firing when the original starter played out. I checked two injectors today. One never triggered and the other triggered once. Then the new starter quit. The car isn't going to be road worthy until the flex plate is replaced and I'm not going to mess with that. I thought if I could get it to run for $100 I might get another $500 for the car but I spent the $100 and a bunch of time with no luck. So that's it. I'm done. Thanks for all the advice.
