need Tampa local to help me trouble shoot!!!

Ok so I'm on my way home for post deployment leave. I drive 11 hours just fine. Within the last hour the car stops accelerating then dies when i pull over. Won't start. Fuses are good, fuel pump is humming, plugs are new, coils and boots are good, everything is connected and it turns over just doesn't ignite as if the crank position sensor was disconnected. I think the can angle sensor is the problem. I think it just over heated on the long drive. A tow truck is on is way. So is there anyone in the Tampa area willing to help me out and let me test and check with their cam angle sensor? (evo 8) I wanna make sure that's the problem before i just go out and buy one.

Check the IC piping maybe.... Where you just cruising along like normal? What are your current mods? I personally have made trips from Ma to Fl 4 times in my old Evo straight threw 21 hours only stopping for gas with nor issues of any kind

Actually i found the problem... My timing belt got chewed up somehow and chunks of it got between the belt and gears, and slipped timing by like 5 teeth on the intake cam, i re timed it, did a compression test, it was something like 115-125-120-115... Put oil in and didn't raise any of them, so the head is off now and I'm gonna take it to a machine shop here
