While driving the other day my car started vibrating (best description) and then as I was waiting at a stop light it shut off. While trying to restart it it just cranked but would not start. I changed the cam and crankshaft position sensors and still the same issue. My uncle said he erased the code in the computer but not sure. What else could it be?

Hi,

Did you check if the engine is getting fuel? See if it starts for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does, then we know it is a fuel related issue.

Here is a link explaining how to check fuel pressure:

If it doesn't start with starting fluid, check for ignition spark.

Let me know what you find.
