Have the ignition control module checked at an auto parts store.

A crank sensor also would prevent it from starting.

They say it is like a magnet. I think you take it out and just run power threw it and check it against something metal. If the control module is good more than likely the coil pack is good too. Not much to these, is it a 2.2L?

Your killing me hear. Fuel pressure should be 40 to 47 lbs. and I don't see either that the po107 is causing this also. AND you have spark. Well, it wouldn't have anything to do with the anti theft system you think? May want to try and go threw a reset procedure. One problem with that is I am not too sure on what that is. I just know about it. I do have a GM procedure, not sure if it works on that car.

Thinking about the anti theft, when that kicks in it usually shuts down the fuel injectors, and you said there is a pulse there.
