Question
we have a buick that wont start 1988 park av we replaced crank sensor

Answer
You will need to go through the proper procedures to find why it will not start.Either no fuel or no spark but there are many components to cause this so go through each stage.Test for fuel pressure and also for spark then go from there.Let me know what you find.
