My money is on your new crank sensor, either bad or damaged while being installed cause it is the only thing that can shut of the fuel and spark at the same time.
By the way, did you try starting it with starter fluid/carb spray?

The rave states the crank pos sensor will cause no start as did both of my LR's

The cam sensor will not, but will trip the engine light

Smell your exhaust for fuel and look at a spark plug (with your EFI fuse disconnected) and see if its doing anything. Doing it in the dark really helps btw.

Check the fuel pump by turning the key on and listen for it (back of the vehicle but you will here it run for a couple seconds).Check the fuses that control engine computers/fuel. Check the inertia switch on the passenger side fenderwell. Once you have done that try to get the code downloaded. Ask all you friends they may have a scanner to do it. Then post what you found on here or e-mail me.

I'm trying to get the poster to read the 1-1/2 pages of sensor symptoms to end some potential confusion

The crank position sensor presents as a intermittant HOT RESTART problem and degrades to no start if ignored over time.

This is a 96.

In fact any LR without a cam sensor will not start.

Either a wire harness or corrosion inside the ECU is your problem.
We had a guy in Guatemala awhile back with this problem, hot, super humid, rains for 6 months of the year and his truck had no spark, no fuel delivery but good fuel pressure at the fuel rail.
Pulled the ECU and it was full of water, drained, dried, cleaned up, truck fired right up.

Thanx,

is the inertia switch you are talking about the Restart switch?

I have read the 1-1/2 pages of sensor symptoms.. i dont think it is any of those.

I just replaced a new crank position sensor. but the car has no spark, therefor this problem that i can not start the car. also has not injector pulse while cranking.
