I just replaced cam and crank sensor and run into issue of not starting. Fuel filter may be clogged or the pump doesn't work is my next guess, I'll be checking those tomorrow. Got fire to plugs and coil paks, won't even sputter when I spray starter fluid in the butterfly, I am leaning towards fuel pump and filter as I said, but any ideas are welcome also as I see most of these posts show the problem but never the fix. I aim to fix that.i will post what fixes the issue
