I hit another car from the back while on like 40. I tried starting but couldn't. A mechanic came and tried but said it was an electrical problem, so I called an electrician who came and said it was the starting sensor. We've tried different sensors but non has worked so far. I'm confused and don't know what to do again. Please help

Good morning,

What exact sensor have you replaced?

Can you hear the fuel pump run when you turn the key to on?

Can you check for spark?

Okay, you need to check the actual pressure to be sure there is enough pressure.

When you crank the engine, do you get an RPM reading on the tachometer on the dash.
