1999 Malibu LS 3.1 L Style M OBDII
Previously...
-Dim headlights
-Random ABS, Brake, Theft Light, but always off at next start up
-Sun Roof doest always like to close
-Gas gauge works until your down to a half tank, then it starts to go back up instead of down until its empty, then it shows empty
-Sometimes when you turn on the a/c, the gas gauge jumps to full and stays there until you shut it off
-Check engine came on once, but was off at next start up
-occasionally had to tap gas at startup
And then...
-Driving home, turned right --car died, no warning lights, or funny noises, just died.
-Initially restarted, but it was rough and sounded like it had a timing issue.
-Towed it home and now it will crank but not start.
-tried ether, no fire--but you can hear the fuel pump
-spark plug test shows no spark
-checked all fuses inside and underhood
-all 3 coils and coil wire were checked
-changed crank position sensor, no change
-changed ignition control module, no change
-changed ignition switch, no change
-checked the only known fusible link by the alternator, its good
-checked for continuity and connection issues around cps, icm, and pcm
-did the relearn procedure for the computer
It is not passlock, the security light does not flash. Tried to reset it anyways, and the light never went off
The multimeter died after checking the igntion switch--coincidence??
broke down and bought a scan tool--its a medium priced actron that reads and erases--it shows no codes.
what is wrong with my car--please help!!!

With all that possible at once there's probably a common ground strap missing, not making a good connection or broken right off.
Add a strap or strong jumper from engine block to body metal if need be or find one that's a problem. Some use a lead right from battery to body - make sure all are good before total hair loss with so many odd things there's likely one common problem,
