Hello Damien,

The safest way to check fuel pump operation and the crankshaft sensor is to either lift the rear seat cushion or open the fuel filler cap and listen whilst an assistant turns the ignition key to 'start'. If you disconnected the fuel supply hose without cranking it doesn't prove much.

Does you car have the later fuel filter which is prone to loosening resulting in the symptoms you have described?

How do you know that the timing belt is intact as it isn't visible without dismantling?

I would refit your original camshaft sensor because, as Yorkshire GOC points out, it will be fine and a second-hand replacement only introduces more uncertainty.

Simon
