Can a bad crank sensor cause a car to not run?

Answer 1

crank sensor can somtime make it not start, i just had to replace mine last week on a 98 2.2 cavalier that stoped all the bucking and cuting out . . now my cam sensor is gone and now the car wont start sooo .. . i say it lil bt mix of crank and cam sensor . i say replace both of them at the same time and save your troubles . . . that should be you problem. replace the starts first your spark plugs and cabbles and your gas filter then go to you coil pack and mogue .. if not dont make a differences then switch over your crank and cam sensor .. . hope that helps yeah out
