Ignore me if I am wrong, but I believe the timing is ECU defined and non-adjustable. To confirm, it has a crank position sensor.

I know of no reason why you shouldn't do that and I have seen cars with a loose ribbon cable in the boot...

What year?

There are atleast 2 fuse boxes in most vehicle's one in the cab typically under the dash somewhere and one in the engine compartment the exact layout of the fuses and relay's in this boxes depends on the make and model of the car but diagrams detailing the layouts can be found in the owners manual.

VERY interesting ... Rodney2764, I HAVE seen similar issues before... Everything else seems to be good. I would be thinking about having an EXHAUST shop look for a loose MUFFLER baffle or collapsing CATALYTIC CONVERTER... A rusted or loose part inside can COMPLETELY block EXHAUST OUTFLOW... It is not a COMMON trouble... but certainly worth the look (while you are mobile (my opinion... RATHER than WASTING time & money buying A WHOLE lot of UNNECESSARY oxygen sensors ( get mistakenly replaced )... (( from "FREE" code readings )). ((( really difficult to resolve when you are immobile ))). Hope this helps... Carnac the Magnificent

If you turn the key and the starter motor makes the engine revolve then it is cranking or turning over. If that is all that it does then it is not starting. They are two different situations. I hope that you did not replace the "crank" as you stated it was a sensor issue. The problem with a diagnostic code is there is a piece that activates that sensor and that piece can be the problem. The codes are the same whether it is the sensor or the tone ring. Also there is a gap specification between the sensor and the tone ring. If it is too far away, the sensor wont see the magnet.

the problem was not before but is after engine work suggests harness connection , pinched wires to the inlet manifold problem throttle control sensor or possible an ECM corruption try using a scan tool to reset the ECm
