Your information is far too vague to even start to diagnose why it runs poorly. But if its been rebuilt check obvious things like timing, spark plugs, wires, distributor, basically all ignition parts. If you don't find anything there you've got fuel delivery to look at, maybe check the compression, do the valves need adjusting, vacuum leaks, cracked intake manifold, and the list goes on. It would really help to know what the vehicle is, what engine, year, etc so we know if it's injected, carbed, hydraulic or mechanical valves, what kind of ignition, etc. Good Luck!

Check your fusible links; these are small wires molded into the middle of a bigger wire they are usually located up by the battery cables. When they burn they become discolored and softly flexible. Also check your relays too.

SOURCE: 1997 Chevy K1500 Z71 Chevy fuel injector problem

Did you check fuel pressure to make sure you are getting proper fuel pressure? If it will start with starting fluid then it has to be either fuel related or electrical. Are you getting power to your fuel relay? When you turn the key on can you hear your fuel pump come on? I would not use anymore starting fluid at all to try and start it other wise you cause major problems.

SOURCE: no fire to plugs

I supose that you are getting a spark at the spark plugs when the engine is cold or no.???
Have you checked the distributor cap and spark wires?
Finally do you mean to say that you have changed the ignition module ? that's that black/grey rectangular like unit that held down by two screws.

Possible broken motor mount(s)

Check your motor mounts. Broken doesn't always mean "in Pieces". A motor mount is basically a shock absorber made of some type of rubber, held in place by a metal bracket.

Does my Yukon have remote start?

There is NO WAY that anyone online can tell you what aftermarket equipment has been installed on your vehicle or where any of the components for such equipment would be located. It is hard enough to figure out where some of the factory installed components are located on some vehicles.

Your best bet would be to take the vehicle to an experieced auto repair technician. There is no substitute for an evaluation by someone who is familiar with the vehicle and can give it a first-hand look.

I have a 2000 isuzu rodeo i bought at an auction in early May 2011. about a month ago the transmission started slipping and stopped running. I gotta say i didnt change the oil, get a tune up or check the...

Lets hope you don't live life the way you ignore your new found vehicle

Life is not about quessing,trusting,assuming,just the opposite

You didn't do anything wrong
You did nothing

What is will say is that ANY Transmission Slipping, requires a complete rebuild
Now that was a wrong item & a reason not to purchase that truck

You didn't know as I do having owned a trans reapir shop at on time
that a ten year out foriegn trans is used up,so don't buy it

Don't buy any vehicle over 3 or 4 years old or 30,000 miles

They are someone elses abused transportation

No one ever cares to educate themselves or service a motor
vehicle,never have,never will,until you no longer can get a car loan
and actually have to save your own money and pay cash.

That wasn't meant to apply to you,just the way it is
Since 1975 people do not place any value on anything,they
live in a sea of debt,thus abuse the car & you bought one

Just bought a chevy malibu 2009 wont start

Thats a BIG only problem. Did you ever hear it run?? Do you have the correct key? I would have a shop look at it, maybe the engines fried ,and that why you dont buy cars at an auction unless you know what you are doing.
