Crank or cam sensor may be unplugged or bad or damaged.

yes first check make sure sensors are all plugged back in if not your timing needs to be reset but I did the same thing replace the head and camshafts and found out my timing is was off again so had to break it all back down and set it starting from the crankshaft then the camshaft first make sure crankshaft is top dead center or your #1 piston is all the way up

My husband has a 02 and he replaced the head got everything together and set the timing, well we started it 3 or 4 times and last time let it run to see if it was getting hot. On the last time turned it off it wouldn’t start back only would turn and turn. He’s replaced the cam sensor and it’s getting spark. What else could it be any advice?
