Car turns over but won’t start

What is your question?

The ignition turns over but the car won’t start. We have replaced the fuel pump assembly, the camshaft and crank shaft sensors and now it’s saying it’s the coils. We don’t know what else to do. It was driving, pulled into a parking spot came out of a store and it refused to start. So we started replacing things. I’ve heard some cars have a emergency gas shut off valve but we can’t find it for this car. Any suggestions are appreciated were frustrated and really need the car to work before tomorrow.

What makes this problem better or worse?

It won’t start, but turns over

You mention "it's saying it's the coils" -- what is saying it's the coils? Why did you replace the fuel pump? Was a fuel pressure test performed at the fuel rail before replacing the pump? The camshaft and crankshaft sensors almost never need replacing -- if you're going off of diagnostic trouble codes and guessing, then I can understand why you replaced those. Have you checked to ensure the timing belt is intact? Have you checked engine compression and engine timing? "We started replacing things" is a really futile thing to do -- unless you get lucky, you're just wasting money. I would check engine timing and compression before doing anything else, and if this is something you're not familiar with or equipped to do, you'll need to get a local shop to help. www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
