Will the engine start at all? Also, the code, P0342
Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Low Input, have you checkded for damaged wiring or bad connections? Finally, the timing issue, is that 5 degrees BTDC.

It should start with that setting. Double check the cam sensor to make sure it is seated properly.

Follow the cam sensor to the PCM and check voltage output.
