So they did do the diagnostic error that it was hiving was no feul pressure.so the replace a new pump.after all was fitted same problem but feul pressure is now all good.so next thing. They test the throttle body and clean no problem with throttel body or the petrol peddle senser.so they say it the crank shaft senser that needs to be replaced.so withe the new crank senser and petrol pump and spark is there stil no starting what can I test next and how to see where the problem is.buying and spending cash on parts that's was not the fault don't make sens to me.
And that the diagnostic code reader do pick up any error codes.i don't whant to spend money or keep on buying parts that has no problem.so where and how do I go from here and test where the problem is and tofix the problem please

Check compression & timing. Chain could have snapped.
When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on
