I was in a bad accident with this car 3 years ago so it’s been sitting getting worked on up until Christmas 2019. I got it back finally and drove it home. It was running very rich and was extremely sluggish like it was bogging out. The next morning I went out and started it and was letting it warm up while I went inside for a minute tops. I come back out and it had stalled out. Now it cranks over and sounds just fine but it will not fire. I have sprayed starting fluid in the throttle body and got nothing. I have no spark and no fuel. I have Replaced the fuel pump, distributor cap and rotor, MFI relay, fuel pump relay, and ECM relay. My next guess would be crankshaft? Please help

Hello,

Yes, I would recommend replacing the Crankshaft Position Sensor[CKP]. In the diagrams down below I have included the description of the operation of your vehicle's ignition system. Please go through this guide and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
