I should mention, in order to loosen the stock crank bolt u used pb blaster. i made sure i cleaned it up before i installed the new crank but i admit it was somewhat half assed. Does anyone think the residue is causing the bolt/or crank pulley to slip and triggering the sensor to misread? there arent any visible signs of solvent on the belt or crank pulley but maybe behind????
Forget the spray, damage to sensors, timing.
Back to basics. It will not start and run because of one of two things;
1, No spark
2, No fuel
Take of a spark plug lead and put another plug in it, or take out a plug, lay the plug against the block and see if there is a spark when the car is turned over.
If you like a jump start in the morning hold the lead in your hand.
Can you hear the electric fuel pump when you turn the ignition on?
Are the spark plugs damp from fuel? I suspect the fuel supply some how. You have fuel in the tank?
Which one is it? Solve that problem, you are half way there.
If you have neither get back to us.
How long does it run for if it still starts?
Did you have the engine cover off? If so look under it and look for loose or damaged parts. Did you cover the intake with a rag and forgot it?
Nothing stuffed up the exhaust pipes? Snow? Ice?
Help me out here I'm grasping at straws.
What did you touch? I do not believe in coincidences.
