I have an 08 g5 2.2 (same exact engine as cobalt) 5 speed. I had to put a new motor in and it won't crank or try to start. All fuses are good. All power and grounds are clean. Yet all accessories work just fine. Any ideas? I even tried to jump solenoid on starter

You need to get a to get a Tec II Bi-directional scanner and program your BCM or if it's a junkyard motor ask for the BCM out of the donor car that motor was in. You can also have it towed to your local GM dealer an pay & arm and a leg for a dealer to do it. Had the same problem when I built mine.

I won't pay dealer prices. I'll see if I can swap out bcms and if it works great if not I'll just sell it cause I'm tires of tinkering and putting money into it

Where is the car located? City or state?
