Q: I have an 08 Nissan Sentra car shut off while at stop light replaced cam and crank shafts, spark plugs car won't start
I have a 08 Nissan Sentra two weeks ago check engine light came on got the code checked was told it was the camshaft, I got the part a few days later but had them check to code again, this time it said crankshaft. So the new camshaft was put on the light turned off. Now 3 days ago the car turned off while at a stop light couldn't get it to restart, replaced the crankshaft and got and oil change and tune up, and car still won't start. It makes noise like it wants to start but won't. What else could be wrong
