Default 2003 Honda Accord LX will crank but not start

I have a 2003 Accord LX 2.4liter. Thing died in my yard back in December of 2013. Had a cranking issue that made me think battery was dying leading up to all of this. After stuttering/stumbling at stop signs on the way home, i cut it off in my yard still idling and operating fine. Two days later it would not crank. My wife had a baby boy, we had a third car, it wasn't really an issue for a while. I replaced battery - thinking that was the problem- to no avail. Starter will spin motor like no tomorrow. After some research, I removed valve cover and discovered a possible 'cam chain stretch' issue. Replaced cam chain, auto-tensioner, vtc actuator, guides, etc. cleaned both vtc filter screens, pcv valve, spark plugs, serpentine belt, tension idler, and intake hose. Reassembled and got pretty much the same thing- engine will spin over, but not starting. I am getting no 'spark pulse' now, though. Checked fuses and relays- but kinda hit a dead end. I cleared codes early into this venture by pulling the ECM fuse before checking for codes. Finally got p0335 , p0141 , p0122 , po108 , po112 codes to pop up after a few hundred revolutions of the starter. I need some help bad. This thing gotta get back on all four quick

Suggest checking wiring carefully. During work some of the sensors showing codes may have been disconnected or wiring damaged.

P0335 (camshaft position sensor no signal) will cause no start. Again either disconnected wire or damage during work could be source of problem.

good luck

Found no continuity from terminal three and chassis ground on CKP sensor. Going to trace the ground back to source (G101). Will update post on what I find.

Terminal 3 is grounded on harness side. It should show 12V from pins 1-3 on harness side of disconnected or backprobed sensor.

good luck
