Car won't start, so I had my dad check the codes. P0336 says it is the Crankshaft Position Sensor.
Could this prevent the car from starting? It cranks fine, just won't start.

Crankshaft position sensor is where the ignition timing comes from so if it's bad your coils may not fire.
The sensor is located on the right side of the engine block above the starter.

Thanks for the info.
I am debating taking it to the dealer to let them check the codes and see if it is something they can fix, or having the car hauled to Norris/Next Level Performance in Orlando.

just go and buy the crank position sensor and replace it yourself
its probably a 10 minute job
and im fairly confident thats what it is
heres why
the crank positon sensor senses where the crank is in its rotation because at different points along its rotation the coil must fire to gnite the fuel air mixture in the combustion chamber
when a crank positon sensor goes out it will not notifiy the coil to fire any more because its not sending the signal
the symptom of crank but no start is exactly what will happen if this thing goes bad
your getting a code for the crank position sensor
thats about the clearest most cut and dry diagnosis you can get

My car threw a P0335 code, which also refers to the Crank Positioning Sensor. After replacing the sensor (Damnit, I paid $71 from Autozone!) it still wouldnt start- turns out some of the wires that ran TO the sensor were melted due to touching my LT headers- replaced those and it was good to go
