Recently had crankshaft sensor replaced. Car ran fine, then started overheating. This time it overheated completely; and the car shut off. I let cool down for 2 hours would not start back up. Had it scanned it was giving the code for a crank shaft sensor. So replaced crank shaft sensor again, also replaced cam shaft sensor and one other sensor and the relay. Car still won't start. Has a low crank, like a whining crank but will not start.

Hmm, the noise cranking is the concern. If the engine gets severely overheated, it can cause the engine to lose compression. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on.

In the meantime, you can run a compression test by following this guide:
