We have changed the coil pack, plug wires, and plugs they are all getting spark. Changed the crank shaft sensor and now it's still not starting it cranks and tries to start but nothing and battery is drained even though it was charged yesterday.

Hi,

Are you sure it is getting fuel? What happens if you use starting fluid? Will it start?

As far as the issue, if you have spark, we either have a fuel-related issue, a timing issue, or a compression issue. By chance, could you record the engine cranking and upload it for me to hear? I may be able to recognize an issue if I hear it.

Also, if you haven't, I would recommend checking fuel pressure. Here is a link that explains how it's done. You will need a pressure tester, but most parts stores will lend or rent one to you.

Let me know.
