Check for any sensors by the crankshaft pulley. They may have been damaged when the belt broke.

There is a sensor for the crankshaft. You may have pulled the wire out or the belt may have wrapped around it and destroyed it.

Best bet is to go to autostore and look at part you need. You can also use some autoparts websites and pull up a picture of your part. It is possible to disconnect it and you could reattach the old part and get it to work.

I have a 99 sebring lxi the atlenator belt broke so we replaced it. without the belt the car started and was fine then when we replaced it and went to crank it, it wont start

If you have been running the engine without the alternator hooked up then all the power is being provided by the battery. You may have run the battery very low and too low to crank the starter over.

As a first step see if you can jump start the car off a battery in another vehicle with the engine running in that vehicle. If the sebring starts then the fault is with the battery and it will need to be disconnected and fully charged (provided the battery is still sound) or replaced. Before you do that, remove the serpentine belt that you just replaced and check that all the pulleys connected on that belt that are being driven by the crankshaft pulley (like the alternator pulley, tensioner pulley etc etc) can all be rotated freely and have not seized up. Often belts will break because one of the pulleys it is driving has seized up.

6. Position tensioner lever [8] against tensioner pulley housing.
7. Remove locking bolts from sprockets [4] & [5].
8. Apply a load of 10 ... 12 kg to tensioner lever. Use spring balance [11].
9. Tighten tensioner pulley bolt to 80 Nm.
10. Turn crankshaft slowly 45 degrees anti-clockwise. Use spring balance to tension belt.
11. Repeat tensioning procedure at 45 degrees intervals for one anti-clockwise turn of the crankshaft.

NOTE: DO NOT turn crankshaft clockwise during tensioning procedure!

12. Fit tensioner lever to original position. Tighten nuts [12].
13. Install: Injection Pump flange [6], Camshaft sprocket flange [7], and water pump pulley.

Car cranks over, but does not start. has spark and the fuel pump is working. what may be the issue?

this car has no chain! It has a toothed rubber belt for timing belt. It could have broken or the crankshaft toothed pulley (behind the harmonic balancer or main accessory belts pulley) has either broke off teeth or shaved off the timing belt teeth but it still should move under tension. Remove the top black plastic timing belt cover( 2 each 8mm screws or may have Phillips + center). You can see if the belt is on tight or even if it will turn when you try to start. Have someone turn it over while you observe the belt. That is my problem but I haven't gone to the process of taking it all apart yet. Not a fun job and it's expensive! Not only that but since you are replacing the belt one way or the other, there are kits for this engine with new pulleys, belt etc...) Consider replacing water pump if its old or you will be doing the same thing soon to replace the pump! Might as well do it now!

I replaced the water pump and the thermostat because i was having troble with the cooling system anyway i got everthing back together went to crank over the engine to start and the belt came off put the...

No, but the belt may have struck the crankshaft sensor. The sensor is behind the crankshaft pulley. Check the wires going back to the sensor and repair as needed. Let me know if you have more questions.

2001 mitsubishi mirage engine will crank but it wont start. Was told to change the crankshaft position sensor. Would like to know how

I have changed the crankshaft position sensor a few times and I tell you it is no easy task. It requires almost damn near pulling the motor out of the car. The sensor is located under the timing belt behind the underdrive pulley. This will require you to pull everything off the car on that side of the motor including the motor mount so have a jack with a piece of wood ready to support the motor.(First take off your battery cables) Once you remove all components the remove the timing cover, loosen the timing tension pully (be careful of the spring) try not to remove the timing belt or be ready to re-time it. you will see the crankshaft sensor down at the bottom behind the underdrive pulley. Its just two 10mm bolts that are not very easy to remove (be prepared to drop one and retrieve it). Unscrew the bolts and re-assemble everything (the hardest thing for me was tightining the timing pulley) This is the easiest way to do it short of pulling the motor completely out and removing the underdrive pulley which would require re-timing and special tools. I hope this helps.

If the belt broke check the area around the belt for any damaged wiring, look down by the crankshaft pulley.
