Help Guys... Broken down won't start...
My wife broke down at a stop light this morning coming home from the Gym... It cranks and cranks but won't start... Plenty of gas... I don't want to get it towed unless I have to... Any suggestions? It's sitting in a BK lot right now a couple miles from my house. Thanks in advance.

Update: It started when I went back with the check engine light on... I ran it home and it's in my driveway... Got to go to work now but from preliminary searches my wife did on the net it looks like it could be a "crank sensor?" Please advise... Haven't had time to run my OBDII check yet. thanks.

CPS. Crankshaft position sensor most likely.
Check fuel pressure at schrader valve on the fuel rail that connects injectors. s/b >55psi WHILE CRANKING.

Yep, when I got home last night I checked the code and got a 0335... I had already ordered one on eBay because that's what I was betting on from hearing you guys and internet research from my wife... It was only 18.99 with free shipping... My wife thinks it may be a case of "when it's too good to be true, it probably is" but the guy has a 100% feedback rating and sensors appears to be all that he sells.

PS: My local Firestone won't do it with my own part and they wanted $96 just for the part and $225 total. I'm going to try to DIY so wish me luck... If not I'll have to pray I can drive it about 10 miles without stalling to "Sports and Imports" who will do the labor...
