I have problems with my car listed above. It not starting but it does crank.
I checked the fuel, and it was okay.
I checked compaction and it was okay.
I checked spark and there is no spark.
I checked fuse all are well working.


When I put it to diagnosing devices it shows no fault and I'm confused now because I was expecting it to show fault on camshafts and crankshaft too.

Please advise me on what may be a problem.

Welcome to 2CarPros,

If you have a live data scanner, plug it in and crank the engine. See if there is an RPM signal and let me know the results. I'm questioning the crank sensor. It can be bad and not set a code. Take a look through these links:
