What was wrong with the old cps? Where did you get the new cps?

Have you tested either the old or new CPS?

Could be lack of fuel.

More work on your end is required.

I'd suspect the new cps is faulty, it wouldn't be the first time... Especially if you didn't get it from the dealer.

U may or may not have spark but with a faulty cps the motor won't start because the computer isn't reading what position the motor is in

Best $10 you will ever spend.

I agree that the new crank sensor is suspect. I answer multiple threads every week about issues with aftermarket units. Because of that, I use and recommend ONLY Mopar crank sensors.
