So ideas please,

Here is whats going on. I was driving down the road and my Jimmy had been running a little rough lately. It was intermittent so i didnt worry too much about it till it died. I was driving down the road at about 40 mphs and i was in over drive. I shifted down to Drive and i lost all power at that point. I eventually got it home and brought a scanner home from work to check it out. I had several codes. Some for the O2 sensor and cam sensor and crank sensor as well as my tranny :(. So far i've changed my spark plugs, crank sensor, fuel filter and today hopefully the cam sensor. I have had the intake off and was using starting fluid to try and get it to turn over and it still would not. I'm running out of ideas and money to put into this. Any ideas of what else i need to check or look into to get this beast running again?

Have your ICM tested and replace if it's gone bad. Start with that and keep us posted.

Good luck and keep us the good work. :D
 
Well i did manage to check my injectors with a noid light. They all passed and showed good. I just finsihed replacing the spark plugs and wires as well. I've changed the cam sensor and crank sensor as well as fuel filter. I did have some life when i turned it over yesterday after installing the wires and plugs. I also put a new rotor and distrubutor cap on it. And it would try and crank and when i'd stop trying to crank it it would sputter and try to run but very horribly. Anything else to look into?
