2014 ford focus. Crank no start. Did a compression test because it is giving a p2610 code. There is no compression. No water in oil so I don't think the head is blown or warped. Did a olms of resistance test on the camshaft sensor at 20k olms. Got a reading of 6.88 on one and 7.48 on another. Does this mean they are good or do they need to be replaced. Goin to test the crank shaft positioning sensor as well. The plugs are getting 5 volts so I know that is not a problem neither. Any input on what I should do would be appreciated.

It sounds like the timing chain broke, how does the engine sound when cranking it over? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the engine cranking? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. Here is information on the code:

The P2610 code in a 2014 Ford Focus indicates a problem with the Engine Control Module (ECM)/PCM Internal Engine Off Timer Performance.

The sensors seem okay, the non-compression issue must be addressed first. Can I ask how you tested the compression with a gauge?
