Hi there,

This is a cam shaft Poseidon sensor circuit malfunction, if the timing chain was broken, the cam would not turn nor there valves would operate, you would have no compression as well, remove the rocker cover and check the chain and that all is still connected, if ok, the problem will be in the electrics of the engine management system, this will need a qualified mechanic to track down the fault.
