Re: won't crank Sign In

Crankshaft position sensor won't cause a no crank.

First thing you need to do for a no crank condition is to have the battery tested and make sure your connections on the battery are clean and tight.

If the engine was cranking, but wasn't starting, a missing crank sensor signal would be a possibility.

Re: won't crank Sign In

Not sure what you mean by "all the no turning over stiff".

Does the starter motor spin the engine?

Re: won't crank Sign In

Ok the wording is confusing this.

Crank means the starter is engaged and spinning the crankshaft

Start means the engine is cranking and the combustion process begins.

Re: won't crank Sign In

OK...now that is resolved...wheew.

Which engine?

Any trouble codes stored in the ECM?

Who said it has spark and fuel? What is the fuel pressure? Did you check for spark on all cylinders?
Did you check for injector activity while cranking?

Re: won't crank Sign In

Did you just slap a PCM it in without programming it?

Re: won't crank Sign In

You need to have this vehicle diagnosed by a licensed reputable repair shop. From your posts it sounds like a bunch of flunky monkeys are playing swaptronics instead of properly diagnosing the problem.
