I have a 1996 Isuzu Rodeo V6 Engine with a 5 speed manual transmission. I bough this car off a guy who said the motor was blown up. I took a look at the car and realized it didnt have a crank sensor. So I bough a new crank sensor and the car still wouldnt crank. The car has no catalytic converter, I dont know if that has to do with anything. It has plenty of compression to turn over so I know the engine is not bad. I sprayed some starter fluid in it and it still wont crank it just turns over. I have no clue what the problem is? I need some help? Please!

I tryed to crank it while spraying starter fluid in it. And it still turns over. Could be a spark problem? But not sure.

Check for fuel and spark. Make sure nothing is unplugged. See if you have any codes in the PCM.
