Q: Issue
Was driving down the road truck to shut off just like you turned off the key. Replaced crank sensor now the vehicle will start then immediately die. Sometimes it won't even start just won't turn over. Also seems like the battery is draining very quickly since this issue started.
My car has 250000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
