96 Sebring Won't Restart After An Hour

[RustyB]

96 Sebring With 2.5 Liter V6 Will Not Start!
After Running For An Hour Perfectly The Car Fails To Restart
After Shuting It Off With Key. The Engine Cranks But Will Not Fire Up. This Has Happened Twice.
The Error Codes Are 11 And 12 Crankshaft/camshaft Sensor. But What Other Problems Could Cause This ?
I Tried Using Starting Fluid And The Engine Coughs And Sputters As Though Its Out Of Gas. But The Tank Is Full.
If It Is The Crankshaft Or Camshaft Sensors Would'nt The Car Shutoff While Driving Instead Of Not Restarting With The Key.
Note On 2.5 Liter The Camshaft Sensor Is Buildt Into The Distributor , To Replace It You Have Replace The Distributor.
Is There A Way To Check These Sensors Through The Wiring Without Removimg Them? Any Suggestions ?
Not Sure What Cause The Car To Restart The 1st Time This Happened. I Tried Starting And Running The Car For 5 Mins Each Day For Several Days, Had No Problem Staring. I Took The Car Out For An Hour Test Drive Came Home And Shut The Car Off
And It Won't Start After Several Days Of Trying. The Battery Is New.

^^^^^Good info, but he has the code for the Crankshaft/camshaft Sensor. That is your problem. It needs to be replaced. Get the battery charged as cranking the ignition over and over will drain it and replace the sensor. If I remember it's about a $90-$100 part.
