I(s the timing chain broken/loose? Any Check Engine Light?

I am assuming that "retained out all the sensors i" means that that somebody told you to replace all of the sensors for no reason whatsoever?

Hi Nick, to the forums!

You're going to have to get more information for us than this.

Any OBD2 codes present?

What sensors, and what did you do with them, and why?

Does it have fuel in it?

Are the spark plugs firing?

Is the air filter clean?

I replaced all the sensors crankshaft camshaft exhaust intake and exhaust and it was running great I'm in Chains not loose not broke everything seems to be lined up perfectly and it just as I was coming home thank God I was in my development it just shut off it cranks once in a while it might backfire feels like I just keep throwing Parts after parts I mean I have another vehicle it's an 89 Chevy it's got a million miles and it's still all original because it's got no computers in it but yeah if you can shoot me anything to give me another idea of what else to check it would be very appreciated

How old is the battery? Have you inspected the fuse box for loose halves
loose fuses, relays and such.
the master fuse in the spare tire well near the battery is it loose, corroded or failed.
next check the ground wires are they clean and tight?
any evidence of rodent activity under the hood? They like wiring harness for snacking.

Well you already wasted a lot of money by not heeding the codes. There is absolutely NO reason to just up and replace any sensor without testing.

The only thing bad about computers in cars is that nobody takes the time to figure out what the computer is telling them, OBD stand for OnBoardDiagnostics, it just tells you what tests fail, unfortunately they don't say why they fail.

Maybe the chain skipped a tooth or two or three, if the front guide upper bolt broke its possible. Bent valves that’ll stop it from starting
