Default car wont start it only cranks...

hello
i have been trying to start this car and it just doesnt want to start. it started maybe about 3 times for about 10 seconds then it dies.
I tested the Drivers side coil and the pink wire has power
on the PS. the pink wire at the coil connector does not have power.
what should I be looking for. I am making sure all my grounds are connected
the 3 grds on the DS head on on. the ones on the DS block as well.
one on the PS block by the starter...

help

Don't know what car your trying to get started, but it sounds like a vats issue. If you have hp tuners, try re-linking,or disabling the vats. If you don't have it do a search to re-set it using a series of key iterations.

i had a friend with those symptoms and it did it off and on. i think that it was the key chip went bad or something like that. maybe try using a spare key.

the issue is not the grounds anymore. I figure them out last night. the issue now is that the coil pack harness at the PS is not getting juice.

I have had a very similar problem, I'm quite anxious to see the problem, However this happened after I had uploaded the HP tuners real time tuning.

I have written entirely back to the stock file, and still can't get it to start.
