Crank shaft sensor was going out I went on a gravel road in the mud messing around in reverse and the car died down. I went to start it and the battery sounded like it was dead then it clicked. Its tried to turn over but it just clicks after a couple times. Is my motor seized or is it cause the crankshaft sensor is out and isnt sensing the computer to turn the crank to turn over? Its tried to turn over but wont cause it kills the battery quick?

The cars will sound like the battery is dead but the out of nowhere the motor will barley try to turn over and then do it all over again.

Your pcm or crank shaft position sensor will not keep the engine from turning over or disable the starter. Have you had the battery tested yet?Made sure the battery cables are clean and tight?
