Default Please help!

Hello. I own a 98 camaro Z28. I have had it for about 7 years. I can't get the car to start. I replaced the battery, oil pump, starter and alternator. I orignally took it to a mechanic becasue it was'nt holding oil pressure. So, he stripped the motor down, built it back up. I drove it about 10 miles home. nothing wrong seemed to go on. I then got in the garage started it, and it cranked just fine. I then put it into gear, it cut off. I can not get it to turn back over. battery gague reads enough juice. I am confused. The car is just sitting there in my garage and it is killing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does it turn over at all? Maybe check all the grounds and battery connections if not.

Hey. Thanks for replying. No it doesn't turn over at all. I checked all of the connections. Everything seems to be in working order. Would trips me up is that it ran at idle for 15 minutes, then when i put it in gear, it cut off. Thanks for the suggestion. Any more would be helpful.

Have you checked to obvious? Fuses? Grounds?

Do you know if the motor was pulled or if he just took the front cover off?Do you know what was done to it?
