I've always found this bit of info to be helpful for this type of problem.

Long ago, Jim Testa posted a "How To" get started in the trouble shooting. It is well worth reading in order to apply some logic to the process.

Below is a short cut derived from Jim's article. The below simply applies logic to the No Start troubleshooting trees and can save you a lot of time.

Assuming the battery is charged, the car has compression, and the fuel pressure is adequate, If you have:

no spark, but have injector pulse - Check the Ignition Module (also check the CCCI and ECM-IGN fuses)

have spark, but don't have injector pulse - Check the Cam Sensor or ECM

have no spark or injector pulse - Check the Crank sensor or the Ignition Module (and fuses)



This above is a very good way to cut to the chase and start zeroing in on the problem(s).

Also good troubleshooting info on vortexbuicks-etc.com

Starting from scratches. Replacing the crank shaft sensor today and keep going til I find the culprit

Check the ECM connectors for corrosion. See if there's any green crap on the pins.
