If your timing is off you will have no power.check and make sure all timing mark's are correct.Some engine's are contact motor's,which mean's if your timing is off you could cause damage to valve's or piston's.Also you should do a compression test to be sure each cylinder has adequite pressure.Hope this help's.

What was replaced in the tune up? Usually the coil paks cause these types of issues. Also fuel filter or fuel pump will allow enough fuel to start and sputter like you describe.

Your, car has a crankshaft sensor that, may not working.
Check, the sensor, it is located ( Near the Crankshaft,) You'll
need to look from under the car.
Or It may just NOT have a good connection.
Wet, DIRT bad connection rust on connector.

Cranks over tries to start but won't stay running

Try removing the battery cable for 20 seconds.
then try to start it, it will start then die. leave the key in the on postion for 10 minutes or more, turn the key off then try to start it again. if it does not start, repeat the 10 minute key on, up to 2 more times.
This is the passlock (antitheft) relearn procedure
hope this helps
if it does help, leave some feedback

Pass Lock sensor is preventing the car from starting. You need to override it. I used a remote start module. Having this installed bypasses the pass lock sensor.
