1986 buick lesabre, 3.8 litre. This car cut off on me while I was driving so I tried for 10 minutes to start. It only turn over like it was trying to start. I tried 8 minutes later and it did start up for about 6 seconds before cutting off and it never started again. My mechanic said that it was getting gas, fire, but no comp0ression. So he put a new timing chain, gears, crank and cam sensor on the car and it still wouldn't start. He said
the timing chain was put on correctly because the car now has compression. But there was no fire now so he put on a new ignition module and the top part over the module that the spark plug wires connect to and there still isn't fire coming out of the spark plug wires. What happen to the fire we had.
