Clean the ground busses regardless of dry or wet carpet. It'* a very valid troubleshooting step and something nearly every car on this Forum will benefit from.

When it doesn't start, does the car attempt to run at all some of the time?

I had a similar problem but my car would run reallllly rough right before it quit. Replaced the crank sensor - it worked for two weeks then did the run rough and stall intermittently. Replaced the PCM/ECM - worked for two weeks then ran rough and quit. Replaced the crank sensor again - worked for a day. Replaced the PCM a SECOND time and, knock on wood has worked to this day.

It was a bad crank senor that somehow ruined the first ECM, and the second ECM was a dud. Not to rain on your day, but watch out for those reman-pcms.

I highly doubt that a crank sensor hurt a PCM. I would believe that the pcm was bad and the first one you got was also bad.

Thats what i thought, but thats what i was told. It is a field effect sensor right? Isnt there a possibility that something went wack and sent it a huge feild and nuked a chip or something? I dunno. Just speculation.

I believe that it is a Hall effect device, and as Bill said, doubtful that it did any type of damage to the computer. I believe the '94 (along with the '95) computers were known to be problematic, and even replacements were known to be bad.
