What plugs do you have?
Are you getting fuel at the rail?
Can you hear the injectors clicking when you spin the cam sensor by hand?
Can you hear the fuel pump run when you spin the cam sensor by hand?

Well then, all you're missing is timing and compression.
Did you do a compression test?
When you put the cam sensor in, try rotating it clockwise a little bit to advance the timing. This is while the cam sensor is mounted on the head but loose.

Ok... Then its between the cam and the cam sensor.
If you spin the cam sensor by hand and everything works, then you put the cam sensor in the motor and nothing works... What does that tell ya?
I dont care if the engine is brand new or has a million miles on it.
Either the cam is not spinning the cam sensor, or your timing is way off.
Who put the cams in? Can you take a picture of the end of the cam where the cam sensor slides into?
If this is a new engine, it almost sounds like someone flip flopped the cams and the exhaust cam is where the intake cam should be to where its not turning the cam sensor.

Ok... Still, check the cam where the sensor bolts.
Like I said before, if everything works with the cam sensor out, but nothing when its installed...
Either the cam sensor is bad
Wiring is loose somewhere
Cam is not spinning cam sensor
The cam sensor is not all the way in the head
Those are the only possibilities for the cam sensor to work when its out of the motor and you are spinning it physically with your hand vs being in the engine and not working at all.
Thats all there is, nothing else. So if you still cant figure it out, maybe get Travis over there or something cause thats all it can be.

But could it still be ecu or not the case i am sure the cams turn and the timming belt isn't broken. What else could it be.
