      Engine cranking, but not starting.

      Was wondering if anyone could help me out. Ive had my Aveo for over 2 years now. Last week, my car was driving just fine. I parked it in front of my house and didnt use it for 2 days. When I finally went to start it, it would crank, but would not start. Ive diagnosed the car and found just about everything to be good. I have fuel pressure, my injectors are pulsating on cranking, I have spark, I have proper combustion, battery voltage is in spec, spark plugs are clean (a little oil from a bad valve cover gasket), and I replaced the ignition coil and crank position sensor just in case. I also have no MIL codes pending. Ive checked all fuses and relays, and I have gas in the gas tank. My only guess at this point now is a faulty PCM/ECM, and ordered a replacement from the junkyard. Is there anything else I'm missing?

      Turns out I just needed to replace my spark plugs. Engine is up and running again.
