The check engine light was on and the code said egr valve. So i replaced the egr valve and egr valve silonoid and the car ran fine for a few days then the car began to run rough and the check engine light came back on. Well this time the code indicated the car needed a camshaft position sensor. FWell i replaced the camshaft position sensor and now the car wont even start!!

There are no codes that indicate any specific part is bad. The codes merely make you aware of a specific circumstance that the tech needs to determine what the actual cause is.

Does the car sound normal as it turns over? It could be that you jumped time on your timing belt. When was the last time you changed it?
