Welcome to 2CarPros.

Are you getting fuel or is that shut down also? As far as the sensor, there isn't a traditional one on this vehicle. It has a misfire sensor. The Misfire Sensor is an electromagnetic inductance coil similar in operation to a camshaft or crankshaft position sensor. A four-point stator, or pulse ring, located behind the crankshaft damper generates an electrical impulse in the sensor at each 90 degrees of rotation. The Power-train Control Module (PCM) monitors the sensor pulses and flags any misfire events. If it is bad, it will set the check engine light. I attached a picture of the misfire sensor for you.

I need to know if they checked the ignition control module. Also, are you getting fuel to the engine? There is an inertia switch designed to shut the fuel pump down in the event of an accident. There is a reset on it. I attached a picture of it for you to see. It's the second picture. The third pic shows the reset button.

Let me know. Also, let me know what diagnostic trouble codes have been found.

Take care,
Joe
