What am I missing? Changed crankshaft position sensor, plugs. 2nd time the car was running fine and the next morning just would not start. Changed several parts.
The code i was get was miss firing on all 5. I will change the spark plugs again.

    I hope you aren't using the haynes manual to position the plug wires on the cap. The #1 plug wire is at 10:00 oclock, #3 is at 12:00, etc

    If you are misfiring on all 5, then I would suspect the rotor and cap. If the crank pos sensor died, there would be a code for that.

      i recently had a sudden "not starting" on my 1995 850. it was the coil getting weak. it produced no codes, none. i would suggest to check the coil, rotor, and cap, like klaus said...
