2002 pontiac grand am - wont start

[Schugg]

this girls car will turn over but will not start, she thought maybe the battery was low and maybe didnt have enough power to completely start it but replacing it just did the same.

since then i have checked this stuff:

-there is fuel pressure
-all plug wires are giving a spark
-plugs look ok, only checked one though
-starter is having no problems turning over, just doesnt go much further than turning over and over and over
-fuses all looked good

i read somewhere online earlier that a common problem is the fuel injectors will get blogged with build up and could stop the car. from what i have checked this looks like the only reasonable thing it could be. just checking incase i missed something, been a while since i worked with cars.

is there a easy in the parking lot way i can check this without taking alot of time. never really messed with fuel injectors much. can i take them out and clean them with something or will i have to take it somewhere and use a machine?

Try to start the car.
When it doesn't start, leave the key in the ON position.
Is the SECURITY light flashing?
If yes, leave it on and the light flashing until it stops flashing and goes off (about 10 minutes).
Turn car off.
Start car.
Drive away happy.

If the SECURITY light is NOT flashing, then good luck.

That security light thing is a screwy problem lol, I know what you are talking about...

^^^ Yup. I've had to do that trick about 3-4 times now on mine. Later, QD.

yeah i looked into that, by time i ended up going to lunch the next day she had it towed to a shop where she found out she put a battery with the wrong CA's and CCA's.....she said she was only 50 under recommended. shouldnt it still have been able to start or is there other stuff she may need?
