Does your check engine light stay on after cranking even after turning the ignition to off, then on again? If not, you may not have a code stored in the PCM yet. Your scanner should read codes stored in the PCM.

See if you have spark while cranking.
I do have spark while cranking.. would that rule out crankshaft sensor ?

Yes it would. It's odd that you have spark, but, don't have the fuel pump.... Got a fuel pressure gauge??

No fuel pressure guage... Also checking the injectors I'm going from 12 volts with ignition on dropping to near nothing while cranking

Could that be because of camshaft sensor

Theoretically, if the coil is still getting power, the injectors should be as well. Since you are getting spark... that means the coil most certainly has power.... The injectors get power from the ASD relay as well...... That is strange. Bad connection for the power feed to the injectors??

What is the condition of the battery? Is the engine turning fast while cranking or does it slow down?
