Well I called my local indy and they gave me a few things to try - check for spark from coil by putting coil wire end near frame when cranking - good spark. Check A2 for fuel pump error - none. Battery good - on charger and fully charged. So I took the used cam sensor off and took it back to the indy figuring that I would have to go for new sensor as still getting 314 & 214.

And here is info there I can pass on to the board. Might be old news to some but a learning experiance for me.

If you get a spark then cam sensor good. 850s (V70) plugs can be easily fouled and even with new plugs may still not start easy.

Solution - Unfoul plugs. He said they take out plufs and use a propane torch to burn off any gas or oily deposits. In my case since I had planned to change soon anyway didn't boother with that just used new. Then WITHOUT touching the gas, grind the starter until it starts. They told me after a minute I might hear 1 cylinder start and then another and then another. They said just keep grinding to see if that works. In my case all five kicked in after 1 minute 31 seconds (yes I used a stopwatch).

And why I like my indy:-
1.they talked me through the problem rather then just have it towed in so they could grind starter. (Although if that didn't work that was next step)
2. They said my old cam sensor was probably fine and they took back the used one they gave me. How many dealer shops would take back a part that didn't solve problem.

Last time I went to a dealer my experiance was no where near as friendly.

Thanks Klaus for the response. You are usually right, but I am glad this time it was something else! Only 6K more miles to 300,000!

rodents and squirls are known to munch on these wires too...just a thought.
