Engine cranks but will not start

The Dealewr replaced the ignition lock and complied with the recall. They also replaed thew fuel pump. Now the engine will not start. It cranks over but will not start. I also have two new keys! The part number of the ignition cyclinder kit is 23234399. Any ideas why the engine will not run?

Yes, lots of ideas, but since the dealer messed it up, leave it up to them to resolve it.

Must be broken. Is it still at the dealership?

I am getting 50-60 PSI of fuel pressure. But nothing at the test point on the rail. The recall was done on he ky and a new ignition switch was installed. It ranks but will not start!

I made a connection in the fuel line back at the pump outlet.

Well, logic says "there is an obstruction". The fuel line is one continuous piece from the tank to the rail, between the flexible bits.

I also checked he pin # 16 on thew OBD and there is no voltage there. I also check the fuse # 13 and it is good. Thew dealer replaced the ignition switch so I will take a look at this also ! All that was done is a new fuel pump installed. Recall on the key ( 2006 HHR) And ignition switch. The old fuel line was repaced by me! Gas flows in the line but not reahing Fuel Rail.
