Hi man, if ya cant start your car, it starts and shuts right off, do a cold boot.
Remove the Batt. cables and short them together.
After 5 min. hook up 1st the + and then the - cable.
Jump in and start her up.
I use this to drive cars from the Autobahn in Germany.
You have to do this everytime after shutting off the car.

Hope this helps ya

Frank

my vote goes for cam or crank sensor, have u tried to start it using starting fluid? if it starts off of starting fluid you know you have a fuel issue, if it still doesnt start its either timing or compression issue. if starting fluid doesnt get it to start i would lean towards cam or crank sensor, when i always replace these two sensors at the same time, if one has gone out the other probably isnt too far behind. just my .02
