Does it turn over? Do you have a v6 or LO3? Your fuel pump could have peaced out.

No spark it cranks fine and i dropped gas in so if it was the pump then it would have started when i dropped some gas. Where is the module on this lo3 v-8??

So you are saying there is no spark? Does fuel come out of your injectors. Putting gas in the TBI unit does not mean it will always start. You may want to buy a pressure tester to make sure your pump is not dead. That is a very common problem with these cars.

No no fuel from the injectors and no spark. My other tbi did that ounce and i dropped some gas in the tbi and it started until it used all the gas. This one just cranks and no spark and no gas I drop gas and still nothing. Where is the module on this car??

If by module you mean the ignition module, under the distributor cap. Good possibility it is that or the distributor pickup coil (also in the distributor).

If you meant ECM it is under the dash on the passenger side.
