Car cranks over just fine. Won't start. Changed fuel pump. No start. Changed crankshaft shaft sensor started. Drove the car 10 miles speedo stopped working tach stopped fuel gauge stopped working. 4 lights in left corner of dash flashed on and off. Got home car wouldn't idle without weathering throttle. Would not idle up. Shut it off now it is doing the same thing as before. No fuel in lines Won't start just cranks.

Yep, this can be tough to find but I will help you so you can get the engine started once again. First will it run on starting fluid? If so we know it is fuel related, if not we need to check for spark. This video can help show you want to do.

Also, if you can upload a short video of the engine cranking I can get a better idea of what's going on. Also, we should do a scan to see wat trouble codes are stored. This guide can help
