Default Car wont start

Hey

Couple nights ago my car died out and wouldnt start, was due to the temp sensor.

so i changed the sensor (2nd hand sensor) and now the car wont start at all, i put old sensor back in and she still wouldnt kick.

I removed the IC pipes , some small turbo pipes, and idle control plug and throotle position plug , i put them all back on.

car just wont start.

any ideas

What model car is it, in my experience a temp sensor shouldn't stop your car starting!! Have you checked your fault codes?

Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition on? As above, a temp sensor, even completely broken or disconnected, won't prevent startup.

A disconnected Crank Sensor would stop the engine starting, the plug is located underneath the alternator

If you have no spark I'm pretty sure you would have no fuel either, I'd check for a spark first,
