This is getting frustrating and irritating. I fix something that other appearsˇK This never ends.

The engine was working fine but an ECM code appears. I check the code and was the CTS, then verify the wires and get some un-constant readings. I reset the ECM and when try to fire it up again it didnˇ¦t start. I replaced the ECM but no luck, didnˇ¦t start. I look all over and the only thing I found was the AC compressor wires melted!!! I cut the wires to where they where good and leave them disconnected also take off the AC relay in case of. But it still w/o start. When I keep cranking the engine a gas smell start to appear, this tells me that the fuel is been delivered to the pistons. Also that tells me that there is problem with spark. Can a faulty DIS do this??????

Any other lead???

I BEG FOR HELP!!!!! SEND A FATHER TO DO THE EXORCISM TO MY FIEROOOO!!!!! !! FAAASSSTTTT!!!!!!

BTW, I named my Fiero The Exorcist.

Certainly a bad DIS will keep it from running.

It sounds like you have fuel from the smell although you can have a fuel smell and still not have enough pressure to run the engine.

You're getting crank pulses to the ECM or the injectors wouldn't be firing.

Do you have spark? If you disconnect all of the plug wires from the coils and crank it, do the spark towers spark to each other? If not, fix that first.
