Will Cam sensor cause no start?
If you ignore the symptoms listed here and your camshaft position sensor fails, your vehicle will not start. As a camshaft position sensor weakens, so does the data it transmits to the ECM. Eventually the data signal becomes so weak the ECM switches off fuel and spark delivery, and your engine will not start.
What causes the fuel pump to not start?
The fuel pump is running and delivering normal pressure to the engine But, with all that working your engine still will not start. So, the most likely cause, is that the fuel injectors are probably not opening. The (PCM) uses the trigger signal from the crankshaft position sensor; and/or camshaft position sensor to pulse the injectors.
What makes an engine not start or run?
All engines require three things to start and run: spark, fuel and compression. If any one of these is missing, your engine will not start. The fuel pump is running and delivering normal pressure to the engine
How does the fuel pump work in a car?
The ECM activates the fuel pump for several seconds after the ignition switch is turned on to improve engine startability. If the ECM receives a engine speed signal from the crankshaft position sensor (POS) and camshaft position sensor (PHASE), it knows that the engine is rotating, and causes the pump to operate.

How can I tell if my fuel pump is on or off?
Just connect your handy dandy multimeter to the fuel pump connector, turn the key to the on position, and it should read a voltage for about three seconds (the pump receives current for a few seconds to prime the pump). Our multimeter showed that our pump was getting current from the battery.
What to do if there is no spark or fuel?
If there is no spark or fuel, then the first thing I would do is check the vehicle’s fuses and relays, particularly the EFI main and ignition relays. It may be possible that one of these components has failed and is cutting off power to the vehicle’s ignition and fuel systems.
