Need help with 97 LT1 that won't start I have a 97 Camaro with 122,000 miles on it. The car turned off on me as I was driving it and after many tries turned back on. Two days later the car just wouldn't start. Within the last two years I have replaced the fuel pump, starter, and distributor. So I replaced the ignition control module, ignition coil, crankshaft sensor, and distributor. Before connecting the radiator, water pump, and air intake I tried starting the car to see if it would start. It didn't start. So I took the distributor off to make sure I put it on correctly, I put it on and the car started after a couple tries. So I hooked everything else back on and the car didn't start anymore!
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on why my car won't start? Thanks

I replaced the opti both about two years ago and today, in response to the car turning off on me and not wanting to start. Since I just replaced the opti, ignition control module, ignition coil, and crankshaft position sensor, I wonder if there is any sensor or other electrical component that might be causing this.

Will it crank at all?
Check the plug wires for damage. Especially the coil wire. It could also be a bad opti harness. Where did you buy that ICM from?
And just to be sure, your SECURITY light isn't on, is it?

If car won't crank check: battery posts, ignition switch, make sure your getting power to the starter, and also the neutral safety switch. Let me know if u need help on checking anything else.
