Not starting but I got fuel and spark and just replaced the crank sensor, it’s splutters and back fires but up to that point it was fine it shut off when I was out and check and wasn’t getting a signal from the crank sensor that’s why I replaced it and now it’s struggling to fire up back fires and gets close to starting just struggles I’m replacing the sparks and I know timing isn’t out.

Not starting conditions can be a vacuum lean or the coolant sensor or the throttle body needs to be serviced. Will it run on starting fluid? Will it start if you have your foot on the throttle slightly?
