    Check crank sensor, they are known for going bad on that model.

    well i changed all new cam sensors and i still have the same codes i believe that the wiring might be bad i changed the sensors around all over the place and i did not get a change in codes. i don't believe its another sensor the vag would have caught it. i was thinking of taking the whole wiring harness off unless there is any other ideas.

    ok so i check the timing everything is correct. the wiring seems to be receiving and sending signal. i was thinking the crankshaft sensor but i would love some input i dont want to spend money on it if i dont need too

    but anyway

    you have to pull the valve covers to check cam timing. Its just not a "yea timing is good"
