I have a 1994 Ford Mustang with the 3.8 V6 recently replaced oil pan, after doing so car would not crank I determined it not to be firing, placed it in the shop and the guy said it was not getting an RPM signal so suggested replacing the crank postion sensor did so and it still doesn't run and still not firing. Anybody have any ideas?

1. Find a new shop. Any shop that throws parts at cars without proper testing needs to be closed down.

2. Does it have spark?

3. Does it have fuel pressure?

check your big fuses, my shut down randomly a while back, no noise no leaks just stopped, ended up spending 215dollars on things just to find out it was a fuse. cant complain my wiring is completly new again lol.

check your fuses save money

maybe the firing point and the first piston wasn't in the right position.... this, only if he move the crank while he was working on the pan.... just an idea thats all

Did you remove the engine grounds? Do you have power going to the coilpack? Check the wires going to it with a test light with the ignition on. (3 signal, 1 constant power) Does the CEL light go on if you turn the key to the "on" position?
