Replace your crankshaft position sensor, if u already did, then the computer that u replaced was it programmed to the car, and did the driver side flooring got wet, if so there is a computer under the driver seat mounted under the floor carpeting that is the main unit for starting the car, this unit if replaced will come with a new key transponder [chip] and will need programming to work.
