Car won't start after cam install help!!!
Alright I can't believe I'm on here typing this but I just got done installing head studs head gasket timing belt supertech springs and revolver cams On my evo8 and when I went to start it, it just keeps cranking doesn't run. It also threw a po455 code. Can someone point me in the right direction please. And also the car should idle after cam install without a tune correct???? Any help is very much appreciated

Just a shot in the dark here but did you remember to plug in the crank sensor? I ran BC 280's and am running GSC S2's now. They both started and idled without a tune so I don't see why yours wouldn't.

Yea that's what I meant to say what the the sensor reads my be wrong I'll check right now. I'm 99% sure the timing is correct I got it close as possible turned it over by hand no interference

if it backfired its most likely your timing is off or something with the timing is wrong. did you match the balance shaft belt section all up with the timing marks also while you did this? and yes the car should run fine without a tune after cam install just dont get into it to hard without a tune.

The balance shaft or angle of the crank position sensor will not prevent the car from starting. Does your car start if you give it a little gas? My car would only start when I gave it gas and then it would shut off. I had to have my tuner come out to get it started and idle properly. Also, a p0455 is just a gross leak and has to due with emissions. Check to see if your gas cap is on all the way.
