Changed battery, spark plugs and coil. Still will not crank. What else can we do? ---

Spark plugs and coils won’t stop the car from cranking but will stop it from starting. So… does the engine turn when you try and start it? That is a crank, no start. If the engine doesn’t even turn, that is a No crank condition. So which is it? ---

That 14 year old car was lousy when new. I think junking it is a good plan. ---

Whoever you are using to change these parts, does not know anything about cars so tell them to stop it. Have the car towed to a good independent professional auto mechanic so they can diagnose the problem and tell you how much it will cost to fix it. If it isn’t worth the approximately $200 cost of a tow and the diagnostic fee, junk it. ---

Right now we cant afford a pro. The one working on it has worked on this motor since they got it. It’s my husband’s car. He has pulled the motor out. So he knows the motor. It cranked a few months ago. Been sitting up since ---

Unplug the clutch pedal inter-lock switch and insert a jumper wire in the connector. If the engine cranks over, there’s a problem with the switch. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/3/8/384b1e6afe1daf859d67646bb689651bf10f54be.jpeg) Tester ---

First you type, “will not crank”. Now you type, “motor crank”. Confusing as hell! ??? Tester ---

If the engine cranks over but doesn’t start, the crankshaft position sensor may be bad. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/5/f/5fef75ee8e61406c997d68cbf03efc1dfcd5519c.jpeg) Tester [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/2006-chevy-ave-will-not-crank-manuel-trans/168279.md?page=2)
