im gonna check fuses tommorow... as far as replacing it with a workin sensor.. well i dont have another sensor on hand, i would have to get one.. before i go and buy one i wanna make sure that is the problem.. i looked up in the online service manual how to check if the sensor is bad.. but most of the service manual stuff is based of SPECIAL F*ing tools.. but i got the point of how to test it though.. also saw a few videos on youtube showing how to test crank sensors using a multi-meter which i have hapilly )) the Service manual tells me to use an OSCILOSCOPE.. LMFAO those things r antique and where the F* would i be able to get one anyway .. Smallest one is the size of a kitchen TV.. WTF.... anyway.. ill be using the multi-meter...
Wish me luck!!!!
Thanks for the support so far..

Also, is your Fuel Pump on once you turn to key to the "On" position? Just another thing to check.
Let us know how it goes...

Resurrecting this thread... I am having the same issue as OP. I haven't changed anything recently on the car, so I wouldn't guess that it is a recent install gone wrong... Just normal operation and one day it wouldn't start.
The only change from the last couple of months is that it has been cold as hell in NJ, and my car went from a DD to my weekend car.
I changed the battery, cleaned and checked the spark plugs, checked all the fuses, battery connections, etc... Nothing. The car isn't throwing any CELs, so not much to work with there.
The only major difference from the OP to mine is that it couldn't be the MAF because I am on SD.
Could it be the CPS? Any thoughts?

I'm actually having the same no start issue. If you have a multimeter, I'd check your Cam Sensor/s (CPS) [Assuming you have a 03 VIII, it'd be just a single exhaust cam sensor] harness for the 12v & 5v signal (ignition in "on" position) along with checking the ground wire resistance. If the CPS check out okay then move onto checking the CAS sensor harness like stated above. If both of those check out okay then I'd try and replace the cam sensor/s first. Hopefully you have a friend's that you can borrow so you don't have to spend money + wait for one to come in (I bought and returned one from a parts store) If she still doesn't want to start then I'd assume it'd be a CAS issue.
I checked the fuse. Unfortunately, it was good to go. I would have gladly taken a nice and easy solution. Thanks for the suggestion!
