Does your tach move when cranking the engine? You should see it jump up a little if the crank sensor is working.

I do not see it move at all.

If it doesn't move while cranking then it's probably not sending a signal.

It moved for a second when I sprayed starting fluid in the throttle body. I now know it's not getting fuel

Add one gallon of fresh fuel and see if it starts, the gas gauge is notorious for failing and showing a half tank even though it's 100% empty.

I actually filled the tank before it happened. So i only used a gallon before mine died on me.

I'm at a loss, I'm just going to have it towed to the dealership.

cleric670, you, my friend, is a genius! You solved my problem: engine cranks but doesn't turn, and no fault codes! For nearly 2 weeks I couldn't figure what the problem was. After replacing my old battery, I replaced camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor but the damn thing wouldn't start.

It turned out that my fuel gauge was showing nearly 1/2 full, which completely fooled me. After adding about 1 gallon of fresh gasoline, my car started!!!

Thank you so much.

John
