The car will not start. I replaced the fuel pump it ran for 1 day, I replaced the engine coils it ran for 2 days and now I replaced the crankshaft sensor, it still won’t start. Not sure what else it could be. Can the cam sensor or o2 sensor cause it to not start? Or would the fuel line need to be inspected?
My car has 180000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
It is possible that there could be an issue with the timing on your vehicle. I would look into the timing belt maintenance to determine when the last time the timing belt was replaced. If the timing belt has skipped a tooth, it is possible that the timing could be off and this could be causing your engine not to run properly or start.
