Did the engine work fine before you made those changes? Or did you make the changes because of a problem? If yes to the latter question -- what was the problem you were trying to fix?
There was a misfire in 1,3,5. So made those changes. Then another mechanic told us to change out the crank position sensor and coil pack
double check that the sensor is connected, installed correctly. It could be a timing /chain/ belt problem. Which a complex process to check and repair.
Thank you for your response my husband finally figured it out it was the crank shifter sensor.

Spark plug wires crossed, sensor disconnected?
SOURCE: I have 2002 pontiac grand am 2.2 liter. Car shut
Could be the timing chain/belt. Common problem with 2.4 engines.
SOURCE: 2001 FORD TAURUS 24 VALVE DOHC MOTOR WILL NOT START
i have a 2001 taurus 24valve dohc 3.0 engne i have a bad coil pack what steps do i need to do to change the coil pack
If your engine cranks normally but will
not start because it has no spark, or it stalls and won't restart because it
has no spark.
You can also do a test to confirm the
problem .The procedure to do the test is as follows:--- If your
engine has spark plug wires, disconnect one of the plug wires from a spark plug
and place the end of the wire near a metal surface on the engine. Then insert a
small Phillips screwdriver into the end of the wire (the plug boot), or a small
bolt or nail to provide a conductive path. Then crank the engine and look for a
spark to jump from the screwdriver, bolt or nail in the end of the plug wire to
the engine. If you do not see a spark, there is an ignition problem. OR----------- If your engine has a
coil-on-plug ignition system with no plug wires, In that case remove one
of the coils from the spark plug and insert an old spark plug, a spark plug
tester or a screwdriver into the end of the coil. Ground the spark plug or plug
tester to the engine, then crank the engine and look for a spark. No spark
indicates an ignition problem.If the engine has no spark, check for
voltage at the coil positive terminal when the ignition key is on. If NO
voltage, then problem is on the trigger side of the coil (pickup, crank sensor,
ignition module or primary wiring circuit).
But If there is NO voltage at the coil
itself, then in that case the problem is on the supply side (the ignition
switch or ignition wiring circuit).-----------------
Jeep cranks but no start:---------------- A jeep that cranks over but doesn't start, in many cases will be
due to a bad fuel pump, a broken timing belt, an inoperative cam sensor or
crank sensor. Also these problems are related to faulty spark plug. Check the
spark at spark plugs when you start the jeep. Do you notice any spark. Actually
you should see. If in case there is no spark then it's a spark plug problem.
Also the coil pack gives power to spark plug. So check the voltage at coil
pack. It will show 12 volt. If there is no voltage noticed at coil pack then
its faulty coil pack that has to be replaced. If all the possible options
checked out ok then check the car starter. The starter gets power from battery
to start the jeep. If the starter is faulty then it will not let the car to
start. Also check and confirm that there is fuel in the jeep. If its very low
fuel then in some cases this causes the problem. Also check and confirm that
fuel pump is functioning properly and the fuel filter is not clogged. One of
the easiest ways to check for a fuel pump related problem is to spray a little
starting fluid into the air intake while trying to start the jeep. If the car
starts momentarily, then there's a good chance the fuel pump is not working or
the jeep is out of gas. You can also listen for the fuel pump's humming sound
when the key is first turned on. Also if a inoperative fuel pump is suspected,
a good technician will always check to verify there is power and ground being
supplied to the pump, to eliminate the possibility of a bad relay or electrical
issue. Fuel pressure can be checked with a pressure gauge and if there is
pressure, pulse can be checked at the fuel injectors in several ways including
the most common, with the use of noid lights. If the injectors don't have pulse
the engine won't start. ---------- This troubleshooting tips will help you to solve the problem. Thanks.
