Have you checked to make sure it is time,put it at tdc and make sure,it is possible the chain has slipped. Having spark at #1 does not mean it is arriving at the proper time.

timing seems to be ok

i changed the cam sensor and still no luck but i think i found the problems
the injectors are not spraying fuel

anyone ideas on what may be causing this ?
thanks

Is your fuel pump working?turn on your key and see if you can hear it,If is coming on make sure you have pressure at the rail,if you do it will be either a sensor or ecu.

remove fuel line and turn key on and i have a huge amount of gas coming out of the hose so i guess the pump is working like it should
i have no way of checking the pessure
