Change intake and engine wiring harness and right side exhaust manifold to have the egr did not change flex plate that is what I needed to know if I could use or if they had different timing slots for each year but if I have to change the flex plate do I have to change the cam sprocket to or are they the same on a 2000 and 2002 and being that it cranks but no spark does it just sound like the flex plate problem or could it also be a pcm problem

cam gears are the same number.

flex plates are different numbers. different part numbers on the crank sensor too. i bet this is your issue.

if the pcm worked with the old motor, then it should be good.
