i have a 89 grand am 2.3 and i dont think its getting any spark? when starting it i see fuel being sent down through the throttle body from the injector but its not turning over? its cranking but you can tell that its not even sputtering. im not sure how to start about doing this. any help appreciated!
 
sounds like your celenoid is bad. tap on it a little. if you dont know what a celanoid is its the round thing close o your battery thathas like one wire on 1 side and like 3 or 4 on the opposite. give is some tapping. not hard but pretty firm. if that is not it go tothe distibuter and make sure all the spark plugs are tight.
 
Start by checking all of you fuses and relay. There are 2 fuse boxes, one under the hood, and another on the drivers side dash. If all that checks out you will have to follow the ignition system till you find spark.
