Car Will Not Start!!!

Hey anyone with advice please help... I just changed out my air filters for K&N air filters. Now for some strange reason my car will not start! When I turn the key, I get nothing... Did I unhook something that I did not know about replacing the air filters? The car was running fine before the change.

Thanks,

Deos your car crank at all? Are you sure your bettery is good? Fuses are good? Or if you have CPS problem? Something that just coincidently happened when you changed the fillter?

Good luck!

I had something like this once - it frightend me to death because I was in a very bad area - it happend a couple of times intermitently - I took it into the dealer and I INSISTED they find the problem...

They found it was a "crankshaft sensor" - I don't know what it does or how it affects the ignition but they replaced it and my problems were over.

Hope this helps.

Figured it out. Some strange reason my battery was low. It was just a weird coincidence. Charged the battery and it running better than ever. Added new 19" Wheels today also black on black will post pics soon.

Thanks for the replies and advice.
