Installed cams car won't start :(
*********SOLVED************** Exhaust cam angle sensor was 45 degrees off..
Hello all,
Quick overview:
1. I bought hks 272 cams ( mivec)
2. I had all the necessary tools.
3. I installed the new cams, had a lot of trouble starting.
4. Finally started ran fine. started a couple more times.
5. Now will not start.
Ok first I am almost 100% sure my timining is perfect. Example of cams.
Although I couldn't get a camera down close enough to take a picture of the crank pully the white mark lined up with the " T" or cross indicator.
I figured it was my cam sensor internals got flipped so I reset them according to the "evo service guide" specs. Still nothing.
Car read P0335 for bank a cam sensor, p0340 also a cam sensor. then I got p0360 for the crank angle sensor.
I got the car to start then decided to play around with the cam sensors and made a little video. Just so you know my valves don't sound like they do in the video, My garage was almost closed and my car sounds like a tractor from behind lol.

noticed that It didn't matter if both in/ex sensors were unplugged it still ran. So I know my crank sensor is still good.
I decided to switch my exhaust sensor with my intake, and Voila It was running again and I even took my car to school lol.
So I figured If I just bought another sensor and installed it My problems would be fixed.
Installed the new sensor and now I cannot get it to start. It is only firing on one cylinder. I have read this in other threads but NONE of them were resolved.
Yes I have a tiny battery but I just traded for my brothers stock one and still won't start.
Any guesses? Sorry its cluttered lol
I will keep this thread updated as I will go to a shop to have it diagnosed If I cannot solve this problem myself.
Thanks guys.

HEh? lol I did it the easy way. I used a tensioner tool to keep the belt in place and a bunch of zipties to keep the belt on the cam gears.
Would the oil light have come on as well ? I guess that would mess with the mivec huh ?

Similar issue when my car stuffed up, make sure the trigger on the end of the exhaust cam (Airbox Side) under a plate thats held on by 3 bolts is alligned correctly or even installed
