I think he was saying to check the compression now to see if the timing skipped a few teeth and smashed the valves.
Yep. You would want to remove the lower cover to see if those are aligned also. Does the car drive now? If it were me, instead of dicking with the wiring, I would pull a plug wire to see if it is getting spark. Then I would disconnect the fuel feed line for a second and see if it is sending fuel to the rail. If both of the above are fine, check timing.

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate all your suggestions. I really don't know where to go from here. I might just end up trailioring it to QPR, but would like to explre these suggestions first. I thouhgt I heard the sound like when a sychro grinds long right before it shut off... dunno if that helps

Tried a different ECU and having the same problem. Leaning toward it being the cam angle sensor now... will try to check that tomorrow.

Thanks Mike for letting me borrow the ecu.
