So my dad said "let me hear it" so I stepped on the gas and revved my car to about 5000 rpm's once I hit 5000 rpm's my car immediately died. I checked for fuel pressure and it should still have spark. Would it more likely be the crank sensor or that it jumped timing. It very recently 2,000 miles ago had the heads rebuilt, new timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and serpentine belt, as well as new wires and plugs. I did not over rev and the car did not sputter or make and obvious noises no smoke. It just died. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. but, also check for a jumped timing belt. See link.

I checked for fuel pressure at the fuel filter and injectors. How would I check for jumped timing?

Bring engine up to #1 and check with pics shown SOHC shows belt attached Dual doesn't. If Dual overhead cam you probably bent valves if belt broken or jumped. Take top covers off to check cams.
