Welcome back!

You have 2 steps to lead you to more steps.

You have to determine "Does it have spark" and "Is it getting fuel". Both can be intermittent, easier to resolve something when it is out for good!

Your vehicle is fuel injected, borrow a gauge and attach it to the schrader valve. Even if I spelled it wrong, it is there.

Turn key to on position.. see if you get pressure. If you do, try to start it. If it starts and pressure stays consistent revving it up a few times you simply have to wait till it doesn't start to diagnose it!

If it has pressure, cranks and does not start that still doesn't mean you don't have spark.. you have to check it. They make all kinds of cheap gadgets to connect between the wire and the spark plug!


IF fuel pressure AND good spark, you need to see if the fuel injectors are firing. This is the worst case and hardest to fix IMO.

If fuel pressure AND no spark it could be a host of things including crank sensor like you mentioned or a loose wire or a bad coil or.... start there.

If no fuel pressure check the fuse and wiring going to the pump. Probably a relay also I don't have experience with a 94 fuel system. I do know on a 2001 the fuse is too big and if the fuel pump is shorted it will burn the contacts on a relay before blowing a fuse! Consecutive relays. You can bypass the relay, if the wire starts smoking you probably have pump problems. Don't ask me how I know LOL.
