My car told me to replace the throttle position sensor and the camshaft sensor because they were bad. I did, and the codes went away, but it still has no spark and wont start. What could still be wrong?

It could be the crank sensor or maybe the ignition module which auto parts can test. Crank sensor should have 900-1200 ohms. Also, if tachometer has gone bad if you have one will not let it start. It is normally the white wire.

The crankshaft sensor is six months old, but I was getting ready to look at here quick. The tachometer thing you said to check is completely new. Have not seen that answer at all going to check now. Thanks a lot bro.

Also, check for a bad map sensor as that can cause it as well.
