Haynes Manual says it is located behind the oil pump pulley.. explains why I couldn't see it before.

#2 Going to try to start with ether (starting fluid) to check for fuel injector problem (already know fuel is getting to them) going to check them individually if I start on ether



#3 - Possible that I broke the camshaft sprocket locator pin (said the pin sets behind the cam pulley and ensures that it is correctly aligned to the crank) not probable though

#4 also changing the remaining plugs on the exhaust side of the engine
My guess would be the Cam sensor....I believe it tells PCM when to fire the injectors....If they fire after the plug fires then you have a no start condition...

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Torque it down till it breaks off, then back it off 1/4 turn.
