Test your coolant if it is in specs.(you can get coolant tester from local auto part store for a low price) if it is not drain the coolant and use proper 50/50 mix coolant.
water pump and coolant temp sensor you had change already . get new pressure cab and make sure you dont have any leak from coolant system and run the car and check coolant fan works when engine reach or past the normal operation temp. if it not working you have to fix the fan but it is runing and you still have over heat should be pressure cab.

96 jeep laredo stopped running gages quit and won't start even after replacing crank shaft sensor but it turns over like it wants to start

Crank sensor wont have any effect on starting, Cam position sensor would. Also check all your fuses.

The Heat only works on defrost and on the floor. Cannot get the heat to come out of the vents.

If you have heat then you need look no farther with coolant. The only problem you have is with the damper that is controlled by the switch method on dash. Either something is undone or stuck. Sometimes a vacuum line is disconnected. Good luck. Oh, don't force anything under dash, plastic breaks easily.

I put in a trans the crank position censor wire is broke can i by pass it or does it have to be hooked up

Almost a foolish question

It won't even start without a CPS Signal

How would the PCM know where the pistons
where, at any given time?

Solder & heat shrink the damaged wires

I was driving and my car lost all power and won't restart I've been told the engine is seized solid and the timing chain is broke and that's why it wont work but the wheel's didn't lock...

I assume your S class is an automatic gearbox ,hence the roll to a stop when engine seize/cam chain break.the symptoms of a camchain break would be the valves will hit the pistons causing major damage to valves, pistons,cylinder head, conrods, bores and possibly crank.Its possible that the engine seized first causing the chain to break,either way it would be a seriously expensive/terminal engine problem.

Do the valves have clearance if timing belt breaks, or are the valves bent?

Hi,
some cars had the 'free wheel" feature if the cam belt broke, thus saving the valves. I do not think that your vehicle had the feature. However, if you gave more info0, ie, is the car running or not, then there might be an easy way to check the head out.

Mystery car

it sounds to me like a bad censor...you would probably have to take it to a shop for them to run a diagnosic test, that should tell you what censor.

Cranks but wont turn over

you know. i took it to a mechanic and actually.... The timing belt cut the Crank Shaft Censor... So it was the crank shaft censor again. The wires were routed wrong from the first mechanic that "fixed" the car.
