It could also be the harmonic balancer sensor, try pouring water over it and then try starting it.

hya mate i just recently had a similar problem, car would crank over easy but wouldn't fire n some times it would, it was mainly in the cold mornings and nights it was worse but it turned out to be my fuel pump relay under the bonnet was stuffed, so it wasn't pumping fuel thru so wasn't firing. try swapping your relay with the horn one and see if it works than, i had holden and lock smiths telling me it was my ignition barrel sensor or my key not reading etc but i checked a few other things and found out it was just a cheep relay not a $400 job to get my key and ignition barrel sensors etc replaced.

cheers scott

your injectors could be rooted, cos sounds the same as what i had, and i just wasnt getting any fuel into the engine.

This is what i thought, how much did it cost you to change a set of injectors?

cheers

You could have a Clogged Fuel Filter.

Your Coils or DFI moduel could be stuffed

TPS or MAF Could be stuffed, try giving your throttle body a clean with some Carby and Throttle Body Cleaner

Check for a Spark on all Cylinders, Take the end off at the Spark plugs, put a long screw driver in there and get someone to see if there are sparks coming out.

ECU could also be buggered, Check all your Fuses and also Vacuum Lines.

Also Check your Air Flow Sensor. This could very well be buggered.

To bridge pins 5 and 6 you get a wire or paper clip and connect ports 5 and 6 on the obd plug. If you scroll down a bit on that post I linked it has a pic
