Need Help BAD

Hi all, heres my issue, I have a 93 grand prix 3.1. Last week I was on my way to class and it started fine. Backed up, put it in drive and it died. Wont start now. I have checked all my fuses, had a blown DIS and ECM fuse. Replaced those, Had fuel coming out of my throatle body and back into my breather, figered out that it was the fuel pressure regulator, replaced that. Changed the spark plugs and wires becase the the plugs looked really bad. I have 41 psi of fuel pressure at the rail and sigle to the injectors. Oh and I replaced the cam shift sensor. I pulled the idle control valve which was dirty as all heck, cleaned it as best I could and re-instaled it. The best I can get is if I turn the key to on several time quickly and the try to turn it over, but all it does is try to start and then nothing .... (sorry for the long post):th_depressed:
(P>S not that it really matter but I am a single father work part tiem and am going to school full time, i dont have a lot of money to try and fix this, but I need my car)
 


Typical 3.1 :p


But lets try to help :) So the idle control went back in correctly? Vac leak possibly.

Clean the MAF and make sure your air filter is good. Change the fuel filter if it hasn't been changed if forever.

GOOD LUCK!!
 
if you knew anything hippo then you would know that its a 3.1 and that theres always a vacuum leak
now to the problem,
i going to saw that its something with the trans,
cant remember exactly what, (ttc maybe) but if something stays engaged itll cause the car so stall going into drive,
tried giving it gas after putting it in drive, before it starts to stall,
if it is something like the ttc then you can unplug the ttc connector on top of the trans and it should disengage(if its a electric problem) if it doesnt change then it might be an mechanical problem inside the trans keeping it engaged
