Once we reassembled everything the vehicle did not want to start (it would crank though). Disconnected the Camshaft position sensor and the vehicle started. Plugging in the sensor again the vehicle did not want to start. Tested the sensor and it was working but to be sure it was replaced and the issue still occurs. Seeking guidance on what to do

Seeking guidance on what to do check the sensor ground and harness to it... something screwy in the electrics here

The ECU can see that & won't let it start. Disconnect the cam sensor & it cannot see that the timing is out, so then it starts. Dr Terry
		If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0
