You do not say if your has the L4 or the v6. But ether way they both have a timing chain. Cost about $35.00 each. Then also with the v6 you may have to replace the gears along with the chain.

You didn't give the model year? I looked at info for 96 Corsica 2.2L engine, timing chain. Make sure the sprockets are clean, so you don't accidently time it off a dirty spot, btdt. I don't think there is a single mistake that I haven't made at one time or another, I just try not to make the same one twice.
If you have a healthy spark (a blue snapping spark), it would not be a problem in the ignition system or the module. An orange, weak, or intermittent spark could point to trouble in the ignition.
I would check the timing on it, maybe it is a timing chain problem. It should have fired and ran a bit with the starter fluid. The fact that it didn't, even with a good spark, well, probably needs a little shop time investigating. Jumped timing from a worn chain? Low compression in one or more cylinders? A couple of things you need to consider. Good luck.
Is your fuel pump working & if it is when did you change the fuel filter last? Did you move fuel line close to a heat source? I.E. exhaust manifold rad hoses etc. You could be experiencing vapour lock. Insolate fuel line with fuel line protecter material.
Check the crank sesor located on the back of the engine between the transmission tail and engine you may have to remove the thrans/motor supprot plate to see. that is the most common no start ploblem. If I may ask why did you change the timing chain?
Fig. Fig. 1: The crankshaft and camshaft sprocket marks must be aligned prior to timing chain removalTo install:
Install crankshaft sprocket back onto the crankshaft using tool J 5590 or equivalent installation tool.
Compress the tensioner spring, and using a suitable tool (such as a cotter pin or nail), insert the tool into the hole (A) as shown in the accompanying figure.
Fig. Fig. 4: Location to insert the pin in the timing chain tensioner
Install the timing chain tensioner and retaining bolts, but do not tighten at this time.
Align the crankshaft and camshaft sprocket timing marks with the tab on the tensioner.
Install the timing chain over the camshaft sprocket and then around the crankshaft sprocket. Make sure that the marks on the two sprockets are in alignment (see illustration). Lubricate the thrust surface with Molykote® or its equivalent.
Align the dowel in the camshaft with the dowel hole in the sprocket and then install the sprocket onto the camshaft. Use the mounting bolt(s) to draw the sprocket onto the camshaft and then tighten to 77 ft. lbs. (105 Nm).
Lubricate the timing chain with clean engine oil. Tighten the tensioner retaining bolts to 17 ft. lbs. (23 Nm).
Remove the tool used to compress the tensioner spring.
Install the timing chain front cover.
Fill the cooling system and crankcase with the proper types and amounts of fluids.
Connect the negative battery cable, then start the engine and check for leaks. Check the fluid levels and add if necessary.
