it has good fuel pressure and spark i changed the crank shaft sensor and it seems like its out of time i checked the timing on it and its in time but still cranks fast. i checked the cam and its fine it acts like its out of time but i dont know its confusing me and my dad

It needs both cam and crank signals to start.

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.
