Welcome to the forum, I'd have to checks the circuits to and from the cam and crank sensors. I'd also have to check that the cam and crank sensor are in sync with each other. At the least, you need a scanner that will show live engine data, that has a sync pid. If you want to check, ref votage-- signal-- ground at the sensors, I'll help you with that, but, you have to do the testing.
