I had a timing chain go out and bent valves in heads. I had replaced timing chain and gears tensioners and guide rails started the car and ran great. Two days later water pump went out. So I replaced it and now it will not start unless I unhook camshaft sensor then it will start after about five seconds, but acts like it has a rev limiter right at about 3,000. Even when I am in drive once it shifts to next gear and rpm's drop. It runs fine until rpm's get back up to around 3,000. I have replaced the cam the crank the map and the mass air flow sensors and still the same. If anyone can help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Is sounds like the camshaft timing is off. Here are guides to help you recheck the camshaft marks. Also, can you run the codes to see what come up?

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
