ok i know ive posted this a long time ago but here goes another try
"the shortened version" what can cause this ina 99 cav Z24 4spd auto
when i turn the key to "run" the check engine light will flicker for a half a second then go back out wont stay on like its supposed to i have no fuel no spark but there is power and ground at the pcm, ign module, and fuel pump relay the relay wont click even after changing it if i jump the wires the pump will run alternator tested good the the following are new ( ign module, ignition sitch and passlock tumbler, cam sensor, crank sensor, gauge cluster, and pcm) also did relearn after adding these i know theres no fuel because the relay and pump dont kick on unles i jusp the pump and i know theres no spark because it wont run with starting fluid alsom plugs wires and coil packs are only about 6 months old and bettery is new and all the major power and ground wires seem to be in good health any ideas guys please help thanks DAVE

possibly ignition switch, not lock, but the switch itself. or blown fuse or fusible link.

Is the engine turning over when you turn the key?
