The timing is messed up. Normally it has to be TDC on the Compression Stroke of Cylinder 1. It is a FOUR stroke engine so there are 4 lots of TDC. Or you lock everything using a timing kit, which locks the crank and the cam sprockets..
A P0320 code indicates an issue with the signal that indicates the speed of the engine. This means that the ECM (engine control module) doesn't know where the crankshaft or camshaft is, so it isn't able to distribute fuel or fire spark plugs at the right time.
What the P0320 code means. When the P0320 diagnostic trouble code is stored by the Engine Control Module (ECM), it is an indication that there is a malfunction in the ignition/distributor engine speed input circuit.

All vehicles sold in North America use OBD 2 codes, port location is the same on all vehicles. Whomever ran diagnostics and gave you code should have told the meaning unless they don't know what they are doing.
P0320 means that an ignition pulse that's supposed to fire a spark plug was missed. It could be as simple as a chafed wire under the hood. Watch this video:
Now the art is knowing how to interpret, the P0320 and P0330 can set off your P0420 and P0430 oxygen sensor codes. I would address the P0320 and P0330 first and probably the O2 sensor stuff will probably go away. If your car is knocking, rough idle, loses power, etc. then the 300 codes make sense and you have issues. It could also be two separate issues were damaged wiring on the knock sensors and then a damaged catalytic converter. I've got a car that constantly throws up 420 and 430 codes because the catalytic converter got dinged up from running something other.
The ignition engine speed sensor input signal to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Module (ECM) is continuously monitored. The test fails when the signal indicates that 2 successive erratic profile ignition pickup (PIP) pulses occurred.
Symptoms: - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) - Lack/Loss of Power - The engine may be harder to start - The engine may stumble or stall
When is the code detected? The P0320 code is triggered when 2 successive erratic PIP pulses are detected.
Possible Causes: - Loose wires/connectors - Faulty Crank Position Sensors - Arcing secondary ignition components (coil, wires and plugs) - Low battery charge - Powertrain Control Module
Possible Solutions: - Resecure loose wire or connectors - If battery charge is low, recharge or replaced battery - Replaced crank position sensor - Replaced starter motor
