How frustrating! The issue either lies with your new crankshaft position sensor or with a new engine issue.
The crankshaft position sensor sends information to your car’s computer to help your engine run efficiently. If the sensor is not working, your engine may not turn on at all. There’s a chance the new sensor is a dud or was installed incorrectly. This would cause your car not to start.
Or, while installing the crankshaft position sensor, a new problem with your engine occurred. Engines are finicky, and a single misplaced component can cause your engine to not turn on at all.
While frustrating, the best way to solve this issue is to head back to the mechanic.
