Evo 8 startup log - won't fire up...

I've verified I have fuel on the plugs. They are brand new, so, they are clean except for the fuel. I'm getting RPM, but the car is not firing up. Going to replace the CAM sensor.

Hi everybody, I as of late begun having an issue where my vehicle doesn't begin on hot beginnings. It fires up completely fine on cool beginnings. When it depends on working temps I can drive it fine and do pulls fine. Right up to the subsequent I switch it off, it won't betray. It will continue to wrench. I can allow it to chill for an hour or so where the coolant temps dropped some and it turn north of a couple of till it falters a bit and give it gas till it fires up. I was doing some exploration many are saying it very well may be the Cam position sensor, coolant temp sensor. I will arrange a cam position sensor, and trust it fixes the issue. Meanwhile I would rather not keep my expectations high.

you can use OBD reader to see what temp signal the ECU getting. I just recently fixed another car with that issue and the temp sensor was reading -40C so that car ran way too rich in order to start when warned up

Why do you have 8V on battery?

Stupidly simple but have you tried a spare key yet? I had the exact same issue as you and it turned out that the transponder in my key died. Popped a spare key in the car and it fired right up. It's a simple check.
