2000 2.0 Tiburon Starting Troubles...

[regularcat]

I have been having a real problem lately with this vehicle, all within the last 6 months I have had to replace the starter, the radiator, the plugs, the plug wires, the brakes, the list goes on....

Now for the past few days it had given me a hard time starting but eventually started, this morning I headed outside to leave for work but this time the car refused to start.

I called out and proceeded to attempt to figure out what the problem was, I started with the fuses and no issues, when I turn the key to on the lights, stereo, etc are as they should be and the car cranks so I have ruled out the battery and the alternator.

I then decided to take the starter out and get it tested, starter is good to go, then tore the steering column down to check the ignition switch, all good, the car wont start in park or neutral so I have also ruled out the trans axle switch.

Next I pulled the spark plugs and they had a strong scent of gasoline but were clean and gaps between 1.0 and 1.1 so I decided since I had fuel and I have power it was time to check for spark, no spark, so I went to the auto parts store and purchased a coil pack thinking it was the fix, the car will not start still.

I looked at the camshaft sensor and all looks good, the intake is properly connected an aligned as well so it is not lack of air into the engine.

I am exhausted and I really do not know where else to look for the problem, it is my only vehicle and without it I can kiss my job goodbye.

please any advice, suggestions, solutions are absolutely appreciated and thanks in advance.

Why are you checking the starter and battery? Does it fail to turn over, or fail to fire? How do you know the camshaft sensor is good? Did you check it with an ohm meter?
How do you know the intake is okay? You can't tell by looking at it.
Why did you replace the radiator? Did you lose water and over heat? Did you do a compression check? Did you do a code scan?
