no start issue

engine turns over but won't fire! Cam shaft sensor code came up so I replaced it still won't start! Tried the coolant sensor. Still no luck. I checked spark on one cyl. ok Cracked feul rail and there was pressure when turned over! Anyone have any ideas?

pin in the flywheel is either gone or sheared off.

ECU doesn't know where it is to start ignition/timing, etc., so it doesn't start.

Remove a spark plug and see if it is wet--if so, dry them all and try...

I had a no-start some time ago also. If the cam shaft sensor was the cause of no-start, and the engine flooded, it may still be. I wouldn't have believed so, except it happended to me. Over a week it sat, and the engine was still flooded. It would turn over, but not even try to start. Dryed the spark plugs and it started right up...
