Negative. engine will still turn over but not fire with a bad crank sensor, ignition won't initiate.

@sickws6 ... What are your fault codes? Did you use a Bosch brand crankshaft Position sensor?

If tapping the gas pedal has an effect, it could be and issue with the Throttle Position Sensor.

I'm thinking possibly clogged or leaking injector. I'll do an injector clean this week.
