Alright so this really has me lost so a few days ago the car wanted to spudder and not wanna go so i had to pretty force it home it would fire up and idle fine but second it got intoo gear and move it died slowly died and rpms would go crazy. So i managed to get it home roughly and not it's parked k been replacing stuff all night and still can't figure it out i have no codes at all. The battery been unplugged during the part replacements and hasn't ran so i think the no codes is from that cuz I should atleast have egr code due to removing that years ago. But any ways TPS and connection, CAS and connection, MAP, and Crank sensors are all new. I determined having spark after all this by removing the plugs and seeing spark and u had spark and could hear it too. Put them back in the block tried cranking nothing just kept turning over my pump is ruunning yes so its not that maybe injectors I sprayed starter fluid in the engine tried cranking and poff a cloud of white smoke outta the intake nothing got damaged that I can see and I'm still on time and its still turning over BUT now no spark.. back to just turning over and over again whats causing this please
 
Update. My coil pack is getting power alittle under 12v in middle pin and putter pin is about 9v. And my coil pack seems to be Ok 12.53 on top posts 1ohm on pins
 
Update
So i got the car running all that good shyt BUT still once I put it into first it dies and still have the p0340 code cam shaft portion sensor malfunction bank 1 now my cam and Crank sensors and both connectors are new. Is there something im missing here.....
 
Find where the Cam sensor goes into the ECU. Gently touch a probe to each end of the two wires and have someone wiggle them. If you drop continuity, or you have no continuity, then likely that is your problem. New parts have occasionally been bad too. New stands for never ever worked. Get a factory manual from Ebay. Not the cheap Hanes or Clymers. Do the exact test as it describes and I bet you find it. Also, check all your fuses. I have had the engine fuse blown on more than one. Hope this heads you in the right direction. Electrical diagnostics without the proper equipment is treacherous at best. Get a good multimeter for your pin tests. You won't be disappointed.
 
Figures it out! I followed the black wire with red all the way back to the ecu about a foot before the ecu yup it was broken fixed that up now running

Excellent advice!
