Cleaned the faces of the 2 crankshaft position sensors ? different then connector clean

There should be 2 crankshaft position sensors fwd and aft face of the block

Does the V - 12 have a camshaft position sensor only used in the starting sequence ?

swapped the fuel pump relay , # 2 may still be OK not being used in the starting sequence

Cylinders put into a bore wash condition ?

Using old fuel ?

Main fuel line filter change , flow arrow points car's outboard ?

Cleaned plugs ?

Swapped the right heelboard fuse box small king relay in the corner ? power to control the 2 fuel relays ? may explain your intermitent fuel pressure

You can jumper this relay between socket 3 to 5

inspected the # 1 fuel pump on the pump motor connector for burnt / arcing sockets ? happens as the old pump dies

pic coming , same as above pic standard relay and numbering socket

The 'A' bank contains a cam sensor. The Electrical Diagnostic Manual is pretty vague about its function, but seeing as how the X305 is batch-injected and wasted-spark, I'm not really sure how necessary it is.
The camshaft position sensor (CMP) (14) provides one signal every 720$ of crankshaft rota-

tion indicating No. 1A cylinder at TDC prior to the firing stroke. These signals are used by the ECM to control fuel injec-

tion and ignition duration and synchronization.

The CMP is there during cranking to determine whether the 1A piston is coming up to TDC on the compression stroke or the exhaust stroke. If the CMP is faulty the ECU makes a guess and if the engine doesn't start then the ECU tries again one rev later.

I unplugged mine to see what happened and the engine started OK but cranked a little longer before it fired up.

The CMP also is there for semi sequential fuel injection control..

I have attached some relevant info.

Cheers,
Jeff.

It'll run with propane going into the intake. Also as reminder I have fuel pressure now. Fresh fuel.
