Start the car with it unplugged, it may take a few tries, but if it starts and runs, then your cam sensor or wiring to it is bad
Without the crankshaft sensor, I turned it once, there were no signs at all, with it there were slight flashes. Replacing the dis module did not give anything.

The sensor you are disconnecting is the camshaft sensor, not the crankshaft sensor. Camshaft sensor is near the firewall, crankshaft sensor is next to the DIS.

oh, sorry, I thought about the crankshaft, okay, thanks. I'll charge the battery and try.

sorry, I'm thinking, maybe I counted the codes incorrectly, do you have the opportunity to watch if I send a video?

You can post a video on this site, attach YouTube link or something

I count the same codes that you have, did you try starting it with cam sensor unplugged
Hey!) In general, there is no result with another pcm, no result with another dis, and no result with another camshaft sensor. Without a camshaft sensor, the same thing. I tried to start it on a cable, rode until the cable broke. As I see it, the problem is mechanical, what should I do next? I don't know yet.

I'm thinking of trying another crankshaft sensor? If that doesn't help, remove the heads again and check the marks on the stars.

I would see if you have a vacuum leak at the intake manifold. Luigisho posted how to check that. The clamps should be loose to allow the intake manifold to move a little when you are reinstalling it, then you tighten them down.

When you installed the timing belt, there are four locations to check the belt is aligned correctly. The SHO engine book shows those locations, did you align those?

There is a way to test the CPS to see if its good before you replace it. There are previous threads in this forum.

This is all unlikely, I have already checked the marks several times, it is difficult not to place the intake manifold straight.

It's possible to install the belt backwards and have three of the marks line up and not start. The fourth mark won't line up
Others have had the same issue of putting the intake back on without loosening the clamps, and had problems.

please tell me what the fourth mark is? Two on the camshafts, one on the crankshaft.

Maybe you know, in order to test the crankshaft sensor for resistance, which wires need to be connected?
