Camaro will crank but not turn over

Yesterday i had issues with my ignition coil, got that replaced, had my icm checked and came back good, cleaned the distributor and got a new rotor for it. After a 10hr drive and letting it sit overnight i have had no issues. i go to my car to start this morning and it will crank but not turn over. Anyone got any ideas?

Re: Camaro will crank but not turn over

cranking IS turning over.

You mean it turns over, but does not fire?

Replace the module.

"Check" is notoriously unreliable. ESPECIALLY when it comes back "good". THIMK: it fails when it's hot, and works when cold (maybe); when you "check" it, it's cold for sure, and it works (maybe); what does that tell you about what it's going to do when hot? Or even, next time, when it's cold? Right: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

yeah, it heats up, i literally don't have the tools to get back under it, my old man helped me get to it before but i'm 10hrs away now. pretty sure its the uptake on the distributor or the starter solonoid. it does crank but it won't fire up. i'm at a loss, but thanks for the tips. probably gunna sell it, wait till i get out to washington and go get me an iroc in better condition lol.
