"check engine light was reading bad coil so the mechanic change the crank sensor"

First issue, find another mechanic.

really, he got a P0351 code for primary coil and he changed the crank sensor.....that's a good one.

Are there any other repairs shops in your area so you can try someone else?

I thought the same thing but I only know a lil bit plus he didn't. Charge me anything there's no codes showing up on the computer but the car is still stalling out and now is backfiring on me
