Starting issue- NOT KPS... (sigh)
Hello all.... I am having a strange issue with my car not starting. i have a new crankshaft sensor as well as a new MAF, plugs, fuel filter and pump! it does the exact same as a bad crankshaft sensor- turns over but doesn't start right up and does it especially when car is warm. The only other sensor(s) I have not changed is the camshaft pos sensor, and I have even heard a dirty or bad EGR valve can cause starting issues? has anyone experienced anything similar and it DID turn out to be the CAMSHAFT sensor? 
thanks in advance!!!

If it cuts off whenthe temp on the left get to 80 it is the cam sensor. cost around $30 takes less that 5min to put on. Stealership will charge u $500+. The forum will tell you how to put it own. Iti s on the driverside of the block. I think it is a 8mm socket to get it out and a pigtail to release. Put new on is and connect and you are good for yrs.
