Not Timing.. Something Else S70 1998

I'm not sure what's up now, but the car won't start.

I removed the timing cover and manually cranked the engine a few times to the proper timing marks. Everything lines up.

I did not mess with the belt, but instead removed the turbo hose, air box, and battery, dizzy cap, cam sensor, plugs and wires.
I checked the cam positions and the plates bolted to them. I cleaned out the area, waited a bit, and reinstalled everything.

Unfortunately, I can't start the engine now. it makes a pipaty-pipty noise instead of fully starting.

I guess this rules out the timing belt and gears as the problem, but makes most of the ignition system suspect.

Cap, Rotor, Wires, and plugs are new. Cam sensor is not, and a bit of the plastic plug is broken, but it looks new otherwise.

I'm going to go back into the cam ends and try it all again. Not sure what difference it will make now.

If these symptoms sound familiar, please let me know.
