Working on my car tryin to get it runnin again and I had a recomendation from a friend sayin either the cas is bad or the crankshaft sensor is bad. I checked the cas and it is fine now I'm lookin for the crankshaft sensor and I am havin a hard tome lookin for it online or in the manual.. Online I looked it up and all I can find is a part named the crankshaft angle/position sensor but it looks alot like the cas so I am at a loss and i'm hoping someone on here has any ideas

Are you getting any ECU error codes?

Frequently the Camshaft angle sensor is called the same as the Crank Angle sensor. Have you checked it with a multimeter? Do you know anyone with another Z that would be willing to swap CAS with you to test?

I don't have any error codes ecu says 55 and I have not checked with a multimeter but I did take it off and ran the easy test of just turning the rod I side to hear the injectors and I heard the fuel run throught the lines but idk if I'm suposed to hear each injector or what and if it comes down to it I'll just replace it along with other parts but what I am askin is .. Is there any sort of crank sensor that is not the cas? Or any other sensor or module to keep it from starting. I've replaces the efi harness ptu and 2 coil packs I have fuel pressure and I have fire on all 6 cylinders.. What else could it be?
