There's an issue with the VCDS codes. The car is No Start. The timing belt is good and properly aligned. Here's the engine scan:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Address 01: Engine Labels: 8D0-906-266.lbl
Control Module Part Number: 8D0 906 266 B
Component and/or Version: 2,8l V6/2V MPI OBD2 D02
Software Coding: 01201
Work Shop Code: WSC 06325
VCID: AB5F18F559F07ED587-515A
2 Faults Found:
17748 - Camshaft Position Sensor (G40) / Engine Speed Sensor (G28)
P1340 - 92-00 - Incor. Correlation
17800 - Camshaft Position Sensor Bank 2 (G163)
P1392 - 92-00 - Open Short to Plus
Readiness: N/A

Although these codes reference TWO different CAM position sensors and ONE ESS CRANK sensor, I think these 12V engines have only ONE CAM sensor but TWO CRANK sensors. In any case, this particular 12V AFC engine only has just one cam sensor (G40 Hall-effect cam sensor located at rear of left bank). I know there's another G163 CAM sensor on the 1998-up 30V engines, but it seems to be absent from the 1997-down 12V engines. See 12V.org. So what should the second code for "G163" mean?
I'd assumed it must have meant G40 instead of G163, but after testing the G40 wiring and then replacing the G40 sensor, it's still no start and spitting up exactly the same codes. Could the G163 be referring to some other sensor? The two CRANK sensors are a G4 at one of the crank throws and a G28 at the flywheel.
