How did the mechanic diagnose the bad crank sensor..? ODB-II codes, manual testing of the crank sensor (resistance, etc), or something else?

If it really is just the crank sensor, let's get the car back on the road...

He diagnosed everything fuel pump fuel pump connections and everything he actually told me the fuel pump turns on its just the crank sensor is not letting the car turn on i didnt notice if he checked the resistance on it but he did check to see if im getting spark and i wasnt because of the crank sensor . He put the OBD-II on it but couldnt get the codes because i recently threw the battery back into the car because it was dead but he told me it had three codes just that it didnt read it , those three codes i had them there way bfore my issues but i will change the crank sensor tomorrow and will keep you guys updated and lets pray that was the issue .

I changed the fuel pump , fuel pump relay (EFI) , checked the fuse for the fuel and the ign and they are good , so mechanic did full diagnostics on the car and he ended up saying its my crank sensor now i did read in a different post that it could be one of the reasons why it wasnt turning on for the guy that posted that but i wasnt sure if it would relate to my problem i was having since i thought it was my fuel pump since it wasnt turning on at all .

Do you mean he hot-wired the fuel pump to verify that it pressurized the system, or that the car turns on the fuel pump and it wouldn't start?

Odd, the crank sensor should show P0335 and/or P1336. Yet if he says it's the sensor, replace it, and let us know how much and your difficulty level, and if it fixed the issue.

Soooooo i changed the sensor which was a headache some how mine was seized up for some odd reason , but i got to swap it out finally still no crank yet i checked the battery and it was at 11vlts so i have it on the charger right now and lets hope i get some crank now i do have a head gasket leak and my spark plugs is filled with oil so ima have to change the plugs and get my head gasket fixed also .

my mechanic didnt hot wire the pump he just checked all the plugs to see if everything is getting power and all and it was good and he checked the pump while it was connected and out the car and had vlts and all so im not sure if he really diagnosed the pump correctly but he told me its actually turning on but the car didnt turn on reason being that i had no spark but for the moment still no luck so im charging the battery right now and lets see if that fixes the issue .
