Which engine do you have? On the 2litre 20valve engine with LH fuel injection and separate ignition ECU's a failed Cam sensor will NOT prevent the engine from starting as it does not use sequential fuel injection.

On all other engines, no signal from the cam sensor will prevent the engine starting- although it will continue running if the signal fails after the engine has started.

Also check the earth to the igntion amplifier and re-make direct to battery if necessary- this is a very common cause of a no start on the 850.

Tim..

but the crank shaft sensor is the initiative signal to the CPU when starting the engine and the engine won't be start without this crank shaft signal..
