3rd gen DE Cam upgrade

In the middle of upgrading the cams on my 3rd gen DE swap. The motor was already installed and running when it was removed. Installed JWT C2 cams with fixed exhaust and 2nd gen Altima intake cam phaser swapped. Installed AEM 50-1220 fuel pump and I'm getting crank no start and no codes. Or I'm getting crank with rough idle with wide open throttle and eventually stalls. Or car cranks immediately with intake manifold removed and maf unplugged. Checked cam sensors and all appear to be good, will check crank sensor this afternoon as well as checking all grounds. Anything else I can try?

Thanks for the response guys. It's a 2003 maxima with a 3rd gen max motor. Timing was correct, but this motor is somewhat of a Frankenstein. In order to run JWT cams it required a few parts and pieces from Altima timing. Finally figured out the problem. It's either the crank position sensor or I didn't time the flywheel properly. Gonna swap the sensor this afternoon and if that's not it I'll have to re time the flywheel. This build was quite the endeavor!!
