Ok so to start off, my car half cranks, if it sits for 3 hrs or more I can hit the key 3 times and it will start, each crank is only a half crank which is why it takes 3 cranks. Once I drive it any where I can't start it once I shut it off, once again because it only half cranks.I've replaced both crank sensors on the car. I've replaced the battery and the starter. The car does run better after changing those things but still has the same issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The car only has one crankshaft position sensor. Are you sure you had it replaced? The usual symptoms on engines with which I was familiar are the the engine would shut off after it got hot and wouldn't get enough of a signal from the sensor that the crankshaft was rotation for the computer to know when to fire the spark. Sometimes cars would die as a symptom usually when the engine speed was very low such as turning a corner. Then the engine had to cool enough for the sensor to make enough voltage for the computer to read it.
