My car will turn over but will not start. This is the first time this has ever happened and gave no indications that there was a problem up until Thursday night when it wouldn't turn over. We have changed the power pack and the crankshaft Sensor and still won't start. We have tried running a wire to the fuse box and it still did nothing. I need to know what else I can do before taking the car to a shop

Make sure the battery has a full charge before testing. With engine cranking, can you visually check for spark at the spark plugs? If you have spark everywhere, check fuel pressure. Check applicable trouble codes. To check codes, yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader that will work with your vehicle. I start with basic testing.
