Hello,

It sounds like you have a crankshaft sensor that was gone out but can I ask if you hear the fuel pump run in the tank? Turn the key on without cranking the engine over. This guide will help walk us through the repair.

This will walk you through the sensor replacement with the location below

Here is the location to the crankshaft sensor below.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find.

Exactly how funny is that noise? If you can't describe it or determine which area it's coming from, you'll have to hold your computer a little closer to the car so I can listen to it.

You're going to have to provide some symptoms, observations, or clues that can be used to get an idea of what's happening. Does the starter spin the engine? Do the head lights or interior lights get dim, stay bright, or go out completely? Are there any other things that don't work? Since you have a manual transmission, can you push-start it and does the engine run then?

I asked a whole pile of questions to try to get some idea of what is happening. Please answer at least a few of them, otherwise you'll just have to take the vehicle to a mechanic so they can listen to it and see what is happening.

First thing you need to do is to check why it can't restart. It could be anything that is missing and the link below would be helpful.

Either the battery is weak or starter is bad.
Try a jump start to see if it works.
