What is your question?
I have gotten a new battery, alternator, starter, and o2 sensor in my cadillac, and still it will not run...it cranks, but no turn over...please help as to what else might be the problem.
How long has your 2006 Cadillac SRX had this problem?
Few months

Hello, if your vehicle cranks but will not start, it is not related to a battery, alternator or starter. A guessing game in an effort to repair your vehicle is not cost effective and often not successful. An actual test of your engine performance system is required to find out what is preventing the engine from starting. Could it be related to an anti-theft system concern? Is your engine getting fuel delivery? Is there spark at the spark plugs? Is the intake providing the proper amount of air into the engine? Is the exhaust system restricted? These are all areas of concern. Have you checked all vehicle fuses to ensure none are blown? A professional diagnostic test performed by a skilled and qualified technician with a high end diagnostic tool and a shop manual for reference will get you back on the road.
I did have anti-theft issues before, my key would not come out of the ignition, so someone had the bright idea to try and pull it out. Well all that did was shut the entire system down and now I have to manually remove the key. After that happened and it got a jump it was ok for a few months, then all of a sudden stopped working....It sat for a few months till I could afford to do anything, I just had all of those parts previously mentioned replaced...I still have to check fuses and spark plugs yet...something is draining the battery also, because it keeps dying and it was bought a week ago today...Im trying to do this without having to go to the dealership, its already costing enough...thank you for your reply, theres been multiple people who have looked and given there advice, so I was trying to find someone who knew more about this kind of vehicle.
Yes, I apologize that I do not have specific experience with this vehicle that can help, but any way you look at it, you are entirely aware of the circumstances that occurred regarding removal of the key in the first place, and that is where I would focus my attention to. The original cause of failure, the new damage caused by forced removal. With vehicles these days, you simply can't ignore the functionality of electrical components, features, accessories. It's all intertwined with other functionality. Everything must be restored to original proper working condition. I'm sure it's frustrating from a financial point of view, but it doesn't change the needed outcome.
