I am having issues starting my vehicle. The engine turns over, but I have no fuel or fire to the spark plugs. There is a new cam position sensor and battery in it. I have check every and all fuses and still have not found the problem. Is it the ECU gone bad? Because I have power and my diagnostic tool connects to it and is not showing me the issue.

Firing of spark plugs requires the crank sensor to be working. Have you checked it yet? Are you getting power supply to the ignition coils?

Yes, I have diagnosed and checked it and I believe its the ECU because I have no fuel or fire. But it will turn over just not start.
