There is my original thread to review. As of now the car is still at the shop, wiring schematics have been went through, plugs checked, sensors checked to my knowledge and still no cause has been established and my damn car still won't start.

Any guru's have any possible ideas? Help please!!!

As others have said, first check to see that all sensors are hooked up properly, second, take it back to where you got it tuned.

Also are they using a tech 2 to pull codes and get info? The aftermarket scanners wont pick up the stuff the tech 2 can.

I pulled the codes from the car using the method available. Hold options and press fuel 4 times and it displays the codes.

to accurately diagnose it you will need more than just the codes you need to pull the data values and try and find someone that can get on gm dealerworld service information and get the flowcharts for the codes which will steer you in the right direction step by step i worked at an independent for a while that had both of these but for the most part thats why the dealers make the big bucks because they got this stuff

Car is all fixed, can you believe it was a fuel pump ground that came disconnected? What a relief!
