Ok i had this exact issue, check my threads,
I was doing pulls in my car, it bogged backfired and shut off, i had to tow it home, i tried replacing CAM/Crank angle sensors AFM, cooler pipes etc nothing,
I finally figured it out, on the edge of the exhaust cam there is a plate that covers the Cam Trigger for the Cam Angle Sensor which is held on by a bolt, this was loose and the trigger was moving around, retightened this bolt and the car fired right up,
Hope this helps

Okay guys Last saturday. I made a pull 2 to 3rd nothing to aggressive like a 2k to 6k pull got to turn at the light on the way home and the car boggs down and shuts off i tried to restart and it let out 5 loud back fires and wouldnt run. Towed her home about .5 miles down the road. Pulled codes the next day it had p0335 and p0340 witch made me think timing belt had jumped a tooth. After clearing the codes and trying to start it only throws p0340 Cam Angle sensor. The car now has new timing belt and belt tensioner new crank angle sensor and as well a new cam angle sensor. The car still wont start all my timing marks are spot on. still throwing p0340 cam angle with the new sensor. Ive searched and tried everything that every one else has done like such as starter ground and other bs. Please please help!!!!!!
You are right MOST of the time. We actually fixed a car where this wasn't the case and the car actually started then idling like crap and died after 10 mins everytime. Ended up being the crank sensor and the potting around the sensor had been cracked slightly causing it to go crazy after 10 mins. Replaced it and the car ran like a champ.

Yeh it has to go into the key way but i believe it can go both ways in, i dont think there is actually a 180 out on an Evo 8 as i had mine in both ways and each time it ran fine.
Glab i could be of some help
, now go drive it like its stolen!!!!

I had this problem with my Evo 4 swap check your ECM there's a signal that's suppose to fire 1 and 4 at the coil pack connector . I'll check the wiring diagram and let you know exactly which pin to check.
I have this same problem right now but I'm getting spark on 1 & 4 but no spark on 2 & 3. I've changed my cam position sensor with a good one and still no spark. What bolt are you talking about being lose?

its on the end of the cam shaft on the cam angle side its holds a barrel in that the cam angle sensor picks up on. Stupid mitu didnt reverse thread it so it backs out after time. the actual bolt is behind a plate with 3 10mm on it
Yeah that's not my problem. I'm going to replace my Crank shaft position sensor and trigger wheel. I've tried everything and messed with thr crank sensor and now have no spark. I even tried a different ECU and it didn't help. I hope the sensor fixes my problem
