I'm having a serious problem. I've got a 1998 Plymouth breeze that needed a crankshaft position sensor replaced. Car would run fine than after a little bit of driving the car would stall out. A ran a diagnostic on it and it came up as cam/crankshaft sensors. So I went out and bought both sensors. I've replaced them both and now the car wont start. It cranks but nothing happens. I've checked all the electrical connections and they seem to be fine. Can anyone help me figure this out. What maybe I did wrong? Or what could be wrong.
THANKS!

Try putting the old ones back on & see if it starts, if it does, you got a defective new one....

That's a problem. The exact position is critical.

How about an engine size?
What exactly did you drill?

Its 2.4L DOHC. I had to drill a hole into the actual sensor to be able to pull it out. It was so swollen there was no other way.

OK, I see what type you have now. i was concerned that you drilled the mounting bolts and changed the position of the sensor. You're going to need some test equipment to go any further unless you can physically see a problem. Double check that you didn't bend the connector blades over with the plug.

There are no V6s in the Plymouth Breeze. He already stated that it was a 2.4.

Yeahp I made sure that everything was out and also cleaned up the hole. The sensor is Sitting in there properly. I ran threw and triple checked all of the connections.
I don't recall what codes where, as I was at autozone and they ran the scan. Three codes popped up. The third stated timing components. It ran fine before I replaced the sensors. Can a faulty sensor cause the engine to not want to create a spark?
I'm not a mechanic so I have no idea lol.

It sure will. It will also take out injector pulse.
