Check the inside of the distributor cap for "carbon tracks", which is a bad cap with a path to ground for the ignition pulse. You would need a new dist. cap and rotor, if you see those carbon tracks.

My 97 tahoe turns over, but will not start,fuel pump works fine, & has new plugs, wires, distributer cap, rotor, coil,& ignition control module,& new fuel filter, got any solutions?

Try spraying quick start in the intake.if it acts like it wants to start if only for a second or two you could have low fuel pressure.you should have at least 30 lbs.you need special pressure tester.if it doesn't fire, check for spark.if it has the "flat"dist. Cap you might want to check it because they have a lot of problems with that cap.

It may be the hall effect switch that is located inside the distributor (under the cap and rotor).

1/ Have you fitted the spark plug leads in the proper firing order.
2/ Look inside the top of distributor Top (this is not the first time a new distributer cap has very small crack) or the rotor arm is fitting the cap properly. Hope this helps Best Wishes, Malcolm Campbell.

Did you hooks the the spark plug wires right. If these are not in the right order then you will have a misfire. If enough of them are out of place then you wont have enough fire to start the engine.

Cannot start changing pugs and wires

Sounds like you have the firing order right but your off on the #1 on the distributer. Every time you get an explosion coming from the carb its misfiring. Find the #1 on dist and continue with firing order

if it wont hold an idle then one or more of the cylinders are probably too low or high in compression and if it's backfireing then the ignition timming could be off. I would take a compressin test of all cylenders and if they are all in range I would hook up a timming light to se if the timming is out

Same thing happened to ours - probably the timing belt. New coil, cap, rotor, wires, hall sensor, and computer - still no spark. Had timing belt changed and presto - car starts.

sounds like you may have a stuck closed poppet (fuel injector) inside your plenum. No fuel would cause misfire and a lean conditon. Also a vacuum leak in that cylinder would cause a misfire but yoyr spark plug would be fuel fouled.
