My car will not start. It stalled out while driving , it had to be towed. I had to replace the battery with a new one because it was stolen while it was on the side of the road. The starter is engaging and the engine is spinning. I did a fuel pressure test and it came out to 50 psi. I believe it is the ignition system. Can you help me out determine what could be the problem?

Hello,

It sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor has gone out. Here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when replacing the sensor and a diagram (below) on how to fix it on your car.

When the engine is not starting do you not have fuel pressure or spark?
