I've had a good look around and cant seem to find any similar problems but am hoping one of you guys/girls on here can help me,
so the story is,
car stood for 3months - occasionally started to keep battery charged etc,
put car back on the road Thursday night,
used for two short journeys Thursday night and Friday morning (under 3 miles)
used Saturday morning for approx 12 miles, same again in the afternoon.
used Saturday evening got 1/2 mile down the road, put my foot down got to 6000rpm and it cut out, no coughing or rough running just turned off!
not been able to restart it since,
only DTC present was p0341 - cam sensor
have checked spark - fuel - compression all good!
new plugs fitted - left plugs out to dry cylinders from excess fuel
replaced cam sensor
changed coil pack with spare i had laying around
removed vvt solenoid - cant see anything obvious but not sure what it should look like!
engine tries to start it seems like its going to everytime you try
so i'm out of ideas only thing i'm left thinking is has the timing belt skipped a couple teeth? both cams turn together, belt is tight (have only pulled top cover back) they don't look to be out of line, would just a couple teeth out stop it starting or just make it run rough?!
HELP lol

I guess you answered your own questions, since every thing you checked is good, that leaves us with the chance of a skipped teeth in timing belt which makes the car not able to start.

i guessed you would have but you never know mate, only other thing i could think to try is see if it will start with easy start in the air inlet ok i don't reallt like the stuff but if it did start even for a few seconds you would know if its the timeing or not and tbh if the belt has slipped i doubt it would do any more damage

its weird because all compression's are good so i'm guessing no valve damage etc but it literally starts for a second and dies!

yeah took fuel pipe off rail and it pumps out loads while cranking, plugs and pistons were wet too so its definitely getting fuel

HMM tbh i'm runing out of ideas i just feel that its unlikely to be belt slipped ok i know its possable but as you say with good compression it seems unlikely to me. as said you could try easy start as a last ditch attempt
