Kid's car stopped two weeks ago. The car would sputter and then stop. Had it towed to garage. Fuel Pump OK, code reads cam sensor - they replaced & now it doesn't run at all. Then they replaced the computer (they one the installed is one number off from the original). Mechanic is out of ideas - need to have it retowed. Any suggestion as to the problem would be appreciated since my kid is in college and he's using MY car in the downtime.

Yes, it has spark and the timing belt is working but should be replaced they advised. They replaced the cam sensor an one other sensor in that area I'm told, it may have be a crank sensor. What's an ASD relay?
