When was last set of new plugs & wires installed? reason I'm asking is that I had a neon do same, would run fine with gasline antifreeze in tank, but stall & carry on without it. Turned out to be bad plugs & wires.(weak spark ignited better when additive in tank mixed with fuel)

My car cranks but wont start it has a low compression and we were told that the engine is gone but the diagnostic shows the problem as the crank sensor, we have gone to different mechanics but no one can...

usually if the ecu says crank code then its a faulty sensor, can be both crank and cam. as if the crank sensor goes it will not start. cam it will start but not run correctly. low compression would mean eather water in oil, water in cylinders, or blow back on compression. but with all or any of these the engine would still start but run badly.

99 expedition sputtered and died. wont start but turns over. Has gas.

spray some starting fluid in the throttle body & see if it starts right up & stalls. If yes, then you have low fuel pressure.

If not, maybe no spark. Could be cam or crank sensor. Is check engine light on?

Car would not start, after siiting for an hour it did start .

mcdevito75 here, BEST BET, let the shop do this work, too many un forseen problems could come up. The stalling and unable to start for a while could also be a bad ignition module, no test for this part, but I would have it changed, for if it is a bad ignition module, all this other work will not fix the stalling and later start of your car.

you should have engine light on and engine codes

Vehicle stalls sometimes

could be either the cam sensor or crank sensor , but I would check the crank sensor first , this sensor will not cause a check engine light either

1998 Volvo S70 stalls intermittently

Have tried getting quality gasoline at a reliable station? It sounds like water in your fuel system. Add a couple bottles of Iso-Heet fuel system dryer everytime you fill up the next few times, and that should cure it.
