My car just stopped on me while I was driving. I immediately pulled over and tried to crank it and it sounded like it was going to crank but it didn't turn over. A mechanic thought it was the crank sensor. I had that replaced but that wasn't it. The fuel pump and the timing belt has been ruled out. Car still won't crank. Any suggestions?

Most Chrysler cars do have an anti-theft system that can cut out the engine.
I would call the service department, with your VIN handy, and see if yours was equipped with one, and what you need to reset it.
If that isn't the problem, your EGR valve might be bad, or the sensor for it. I've seen a lot of cars where if either the valve itself, or the sensor are malfunctioning, the car won't run properly.
I would also check your MAF and IAC, as those can cause the car to not run.
If you can, get an OBDII code scanner, and pull the codes from your car, they might give you a more specific place to look. (Most parts stores will let you take one home, you put a deposit down, and get it back when you bringthe scanner back to them)

My daughter had this same exact issue on her 97 sebring as well. We checked EVERYTHING else before replacing cars computer (ECM) and wazoo it was fixed. We had replaced spark plug wires, plugs, O2 sensor, egr valve...etc and it was the computer after all that. So pull yours out and take it to car quest or autozone etc and see if they can test it. I would bet thats your problem. GOOD LUCK!! Let me know how it goes.

Sounds like a short maybe. maybe the wire completely broke? if you know a technician, see if the fuel pump is even getting power when key is on

My thought is to get a refund from the shop that tried to replace parts in order to secure your problem. The job of the shop is to diagnose the problem, not to replace items that may be the problem. Chrysler Master Techs are not trained to just replace parts, they fix the problem by diagnosing it properly.
You need to see a Chrysler dealership so they can attach a DRBIII and tell you exactly what is at stake.
I hope this helps you. I would be mad as heck.
I would not think the plugs and wires would be the problem because they would all have to fail at the same time to provide the symptom you experienced.
1. Get your money back
2. DRBIII
