My vehicle listed above just cut off on me the other day and I had to get it towed home. I have checked the starter, I can jump it to make to make it crank. I did notice that the voltmeter and fuel gauges were not working however, all the normal lights did come on with the key. I have verified the ignition switch is working. I have thought about jumping the ASD. Verified that the NSW is in fact working too. Also, I cannot hear the fuel pump come on with the key in the "on" position. Do you think it's a bad PCM?

This sounds like a classic crankshaft angle sensor that has gone out, but we need to run the codes to be sure and check for spark.

Here are guide to help us see what's going on to help fix the problem and I have included the location of the crankshaft position sensor and how to change it out.
