I have an 04 AP2 with the InlinePro 2.4L stroker. I was replacing the Skunk2 cams (which didn't give me the power that the factory ones do on that configuration) with the factory ones.
I swapped them and buttoned it all back together only to get nothing. The starter would turn over the engine but no fuel was coming out. I even pulled the plugs to confirm. Apparently the rear cam plate on the back of the intake cam came off (looks like it was making contact with the inside of the valve cover and backed off). I didn't notice when pulling it apart so when swapping cam gears, I just figured the exhaust cam had the rear plate and the intake didn't. After all, the new valve cover only has one TDC sensor on the exhaust side, rather than 2 like the stock one.
So my question is does the 06 use the 1 exhaust sensor to somehow read both cams? If it's looking for a reading from the intake side and it's not there, I could see that causing it to not pulse the injectors. But how that works I have no clue.
Any input would be great. I didn't touch anything else on this job and I daily the car (I know) so I need it to work.

06 cars and also kpro cars like yours only needs the trigger wheel on the exhaust cam.
Did you transfer the trigger wheel over from Skunk2 cam to the factory one and did you put it in the correct way?

I did take the plate off the back of the skunk2 exhaust cam and put it on the factory one. Won't have access to the car until Wednesday so I'll check it then. Just doesn't make sense. Factory diagrams show both cams on the 06 model having plates, but only the one sensor. Weird.

You are right, the intake cam seems to be using the same cam plate on 06 cars as the older models.
No idea why since it shouldn't be needed, maybe it's just a balance thing.
