It needs both cam and crank signals to start.

when i crank it over it coughs through the fuel injection and still cranks really fast ive looked at 3 diagrams on how to time it but i dont know which one is right so it might be in time or it might not.. parts stores can't pull the diagram up either do you know how it times?

Very rare for newer vehicles to jump time. What is your fuel pressure? Will it start with a little ether?

If it has fuel and spark, it should run. Something is missing.
