Car shut off while driving. Replaced distributor, fuel pump, crankshaft position sensor. Spark to distributor, but will not start.

Scan for codes first may be out of time as distributor was replaced or you have a sensor not allowing it to start like either a map sensor or engine coolant sensor. Also, check for a vacuum leak to MAP.

If it sparks to distributor from coil then check the rotor and or for a cracked dist cap. Also was it put in correctly as you changed it check that.
