Thanks for using JustAnswer.com! My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'll try to answer your car questions. I'll start off with some basic checks to do, then we can get into more advanced diagnostics if needed. Let me know if any questions come up, or if there is anything I can do to help! You can update this message at anytime.
- I'm sorry to hear about any troubles with the vehicle, but would be glad to try and help!
- It does happen sometimes to get a bad sensor out of the box, check engine RPM signal on scan tool, and see if any trouble codes are setting in any of the modules, if not seeing spark. Double check terminal tension of the crank sensor connector, tighten or replace any spread terminals. If seeing good input from crank sensor, but no spark, double check wiring from engine computer to ignition system and be sure full power is present at [ignition coil](/topics-ignition-coil-dodge/).
- Lemme know if seeing any codes, or if any questions come up while checking things out!

Check crank sensor connection all good, no codes. Cranked engine for approximately 1 min. And checked codes, none.It ran and started right up but would back fire and miss, was told to replace crank sensor so I did . And now I turn on key hear fuel pump prime up, all light work right . No spark, no start.

Ya, sounds like issue with the new sensor, at this time. Do you still have the original sensor to swap back in and see if engine will start? If engine was missing/backfiring before, there may be a compression or timing issue going on, that could be preventing starting, but if not seeing spark just since the sensor replacement, would suspect faulty or incorrect sensor installed. Lemme know what youre seeing, or if any questions come up while checking things out!
