We've replaced the battery, alternator, fuses, ac compressor, crankshaft sensor, fuel filter. Have checked for "spark" on everything u could check on that y'all told me but still no power. Now u can turn the key and nothing happens but moaning
What is it now?
Coil pack(s), or ignition control module

First thing you have to do ALWAyS is to scan for codes and check fuel pressure, youonly need to turn key on for this. Although you may get false codes now since you've worked on it. Does it turn over? Or turn over and not run? You can still do stuff like a compression check with a 20% variance from one cylinder to another is not good. Check what i've said first and get back to me.

You just can't start throwing parts at todays car to make them run. It needs to be scanned to see where the problem is. Do what i've said in the previous answer.

We did. The battery was dead so he replaced it. The alternator wasn't keeping battery charged so he replaced it. The rest before we take our trips he does a tune up, oil change, checks all fuses gauges, bulbs, etc. Just to make me happy since I'm the 1 that has to drive the 12 hr. Trip. The other parts like the um, camshaft sensor, was b/c of a code. The fuel filter was because of a code. The other parts as well that I've asked u, were because of a code that showed up during some test?
