So I was drifting in the rain and my right passenger side front wheel hub bearing ended up loosening and the car engine died. I tried to turn the car back on but no luck. I replaced the battery, alternator, cvv, crankshaft position sensor, and both camshaft position sensors. When I try to turn it on the rpms doesn’t move at all and it does a very slow crank.
For starters the feedback subforum specifically states NO CAR QUESTIONS, moving your thread to another sub forum.
Very slow crank is typically either the battery or the starter, just because you put in a new battery doesn't mean it was charged, it's VERY common for them to lose their charge sitting on the shelf.
Put on a battery charger and see if it will take a charge, this is a great time to clean up the battery cables.
If it still slow cranks it's probably the starter, disconnect the battery, remove the starter, take it down for a bench test and have them compare it to a new or rebuilt one off the shelf because it's hard to judge if it's actually hard starting just looking at a single unit.6
Tough to tell since your description is fairly unclear, could be as simple as a starter, but you may have also flooded the engine with water and you likely jumped the timing chain or it may still have some water in it. If it’s a stick car you can try push-starting it, but I fear something more serious is happening her and you should have a shop look at it before wasting more money on parts.
