Do you have a FSM? Section 8D page 8 shows the "failure to start" diagnosis proceedure. If you need the info PM me.

The camshaft position sensor magnet can crack and cause a no start. Have a look at it.

Is that on the cam, or on the sensor? Would this throw a code? If it is on the sensor, that is the first thing I replaced.

It's on the cam...kinda. It's where the cam sensor connects to. They can crack without throwing a code. A buddy of mine had the same problem and then finally saw the hairline crack in the magnet. Changed it out and fired right up.

Great suggestion, but I just pulled the magnet out and sadly it looks perfect
