It will turn over. I already changed cam position sensor. Hooked it to a diagnostic tool and the car does not throw a code.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

Based on your description, it sounds like the crankshaft position sensor may be bad. Take a look through this link. It notes that a bad crank sensor may not set a code.

Here are general directions on replacing one:

_____________________________

Here are directions specific to your vehicle for testing the sensor:

Component Inspection

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (POS)
1. Loosen the fixCing bolt of the sensor.
2. Disconnect crankshaft position sensor (POS) harness connector.
3. Remove the sensor.
4. Visually check the sensor for chipping.
5. Check resistance as shown in the figure.
6. If NG, replace crankshaft position sensor (POS).

The attached pictures correlate with these directions. The last two pics are its location.

I hope this helps. If you have a live data scanner, check to see if there is an RPM signal when cranking. If there is, the sensor is most likely not the issue.

Let me know.

Joe
