I was driving car and it cut out on me. Replaced starter/solenoid and battery. It turns over but will not start up.

Hello,

Okay, first off, what size the engine in your vehicle. Is it a 2.2L 4 cylinder engine or do you have the 3.1L V6 engine?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

Okay, this could be a problem with your vehicle's 3X Crankshaft Position Sensor [CKP] which is located on the lower side of the engine. The CKP uses a signal from a reluctor wheel mounted to the crankshaft to synchronize and fire the ignition coil on your vehicle. Without this signal your vehicle will neither start or run. I have included a diagram of the location of the 3X CKP sensor on your vehicle. Please inspect the electrical connector and wires for any damage or corrosion when replacing the CKP. Here is a link to a generic guide on replacing a CKP for you below:

Please go through this guide, if needed, and replace the CKP and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
