Hello,

This could be a problem with your vehicle's Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) which your vehicle's Power-train Control Module (PCM) or "computer" uses to determine when to fire the spark plugs in your vehicle's ignition system. Without this signal your vehicle will not start. Your vehicle's CKP location is in the front of engine behind the harmonic balancer or crankshaft pulley. I have also included a link below for you to go to:
