Are you still getting spark and fuel? Have you checked to see if the timing belt has jumped or broken?

I actually found the resistance numbers for the sensors,and my camshaft sensor,which should be 400-900 ohms was open.it read 0 resistance,and as we know,bad camshaft sensor....car no go!So I replaced it for $16.00.Thanks for your time.
