are you getting spark and fuel to the engine? Will it start for a few seconds with starting fluid?

I haven't used starting fluid to start it. Fuel is coming to the engine. not sure how to check if it is sparking. Mechanic said it was the 3 things i changed, fuel pump camshaft and crankshaft sensors. haven't changed the 2nd crankshaft sensor as i am tapped out on funds. it is the larger sensor under the breather

Before spending any more money, we need to determine a couple things. First, it would be very odd for the engine to lose both spark and fuel at the same time. Thus, chances are at least one of the parts you replaced wasn't needed. What I need you to do is check for both. It is not hard to do. Go to our homepage under the DIY section for directions. For checking fuel pump pressure, there are both directions and a video. For checking spark, there are directions. Let me know what you find. If you can, see if it will start with starting fluid. If it does, that will tell me that it is getting spark and it is a fuel related issue. (it is a quick way to determine if there is spark)
