1999 Land Rover Discovery II Cranks with no start
I have a 1999 Discovery II that will crank, but no start, no fire, no spark, no injector pulse. Tachometer (RPM gauge) does not move while cranking, however engine diagnostics says there is a reading. Battery is good, alternator is good.
Changed the crankshaft sensor with still no change. Waiting on camshaft sensor to arrive, but unsure if this will even fix the issue.
Will a faulty camshaft sensor or O-Ring around the sensor cause this type of problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be. My father and I are stumped if the camshaft sensor doesn't fix this.

What you report are the classic crankshaft position sensor symptoms. Are you certain you installed it correctly? I don't recall the camshaft position sensor causing the symptoms your truck is exhibiting.
I am pretty certain the crankshaft sensor was installed correctly. However, we plan on taking a look at it to make sure it is when we get the camshaft sensor in. I read somewhere that sometimes both cam and crankshaft sensor should be changed together. I also read somewhere that it might be the timing?
I did see something somewhere about the vehicle “thinking it has been stolen”, but I am not sure how to test that or even go about fixing it.

If all else fails I would look at replacing the ecu. I bought one out of a junkyard cuz nobody could fix it. It acted just like what you described. I got a used ecu, bcu, and gauge cluster for 100 bucks and she fired right up.
