2009 LNF just won't start after replacing a variety of parts
Hello all my car is higher mileage but ran great. Currently 166k. I have changed the Battery, the starter,High Pressure fuel pump and nothing. Car just cranks cranks and doesn't turn over. I can hear the in tank fuel pump still prime. I haven't heard of too many LNF owners or cobalt owners in general have to swap their pump. Anything else I can be missing here that is common with higher mileage LNF's?

Thanks for the replies,I'm pretty mechanically inclined but really pressed for time. I did set aside a day and worked on the car but still cannot figure it out
Before the car stopped starting I literally drove it out of my driveway to get my other car out and parked it. Less than 25ft. It never started back up again. Before that I drove the car about 800+ miles worry free since i owned it.Thanks Basswaves text me

WINNER!!!!!!!!
the alternator was seized and did not allow the car to turn fast enough. The belt was grabbing hard and caused it to crank super slow and smoke the starter.
I removed the belt and spun all 3 components. Alternator, AC Compressor, and tensioner. The alternator was like welded lol. Car started up instantly with no belt.
