Answer
Hi Charles,
I asume you have the 3.3L engine. There is a bit of a discrepency in that you say "no spark"...TIMING IN LINE". Doesn't it take a spark to check the timing? In any case, if you have no 12V to the coil pack and no 12V to the fuel pump when you are cranking the engine, then I would suspect that the autoshutdown relay in the power distribution center (box, under the hood, corner relay) is not working properly. The only thing it needs to function is the cam sensor signal, which you changed, so the ASD relay may be your problem. But just in case, have you tried the on board diagnositics:
Use the ignition key: turn it "on-off-on-off-on" and leave it "on", in less than 5 seconds; then watch the check engine light to start flashing, pause, flashing, pause...Count the number of flashes, pair them up to form two digit numbers, then write back with the results or go to
www.allpar.com/fix/codes.html
for a code translator.
The last code is always 55 which means end of readout.
So see whether you are getting 12V to the fuel pump or the coil pack, or the oxygen sensor, or the fuel injictor plug all of which are supplied by the dark green/black wire from the ASD. It will be there for about a second when you turn the ignition to run, and return when you start cranking the starter motor. If not, then either the ASD relay is bad, or the 30 amp fuse that supplies it (labeled :fuel pump/trans in the power distribution box) is bad. Write back with your progress.
