Help! project car will not start .or idle

alright guys I picked this car as a project first things first as I ran all the codes.
p0300-misfire
p-0345 cam Sensor a bank2
p-0011 cam position sensor over advanced timing Bank One
p0021 - cam sensor bank 2 over advanced timing...
p1574?
now of course I replace the cam sensors first. but that did nothing .. the car still will not start it has a kinetix intake manifold on it that is also cracked but I would assume the car would start and just runs like crap I'm not really sure what else to start doing next the car will only start if i-feathered or hold down the gas pedal but it cranks about 5-15 seconds before it does anything.. but as soon as I let off of it it dies after a second it will not run at all and sounds like only 3 -4 cylinders are going. when I bought the car the girl said she was driving and it just died so I took the first step and I'm stuck I was trying to fix without having to replace the entire motor car has 164k . thinking maybe the timing chain skip a tooth and I would have to replace them? im not sure

How big is the crack it could be causing a huge vacuum leak?

According to AllData P1574 ASCD vehicle speed sensor:

Harness
Combination Meter
VDC/ABS/TCS Control Unit
Wheel Sensor
TCM
ECM

That is on an 06 though, so it could be different depending on year.

Try unplugging the IVT solenoids those are also related to the P0011/P0021 error codes. When was the last oil change? P0011 also can be caused by a timing chain installation error as you feared and the crankshaft sensor as well.

P0345 also can be the starter, low battery, and the starting circuit.

Maybe the crankshaft sensor is faulty as well?

going to charge the battery completely and put some more oil in it today after that I'm going to seal up the cracks in intake manifold pull the plugs and compression test it. just trying to see why it won't start up or run

so the intake manifold is cracked I took the car down to the heads today driver side has one camshaft that is snapped. on the intake manifold the passenger side cylinders have a ton of carbon buildup the driver side was clean but the center cylinder was full of fuel. ... I'm going to pull the heads tomorrow or thurs...... Any input?

Wow, that's a ton of damage...no wonder it just stopped on her, lol. Any ideas what caused it? Did she do regular oil changes? This is probably outside my knowledge, but there could be a lot more damage internally you can't see. Is a good used engine outside your budget or time?

Well, takes a lot to snap a cam shaft - could be seized? how was the oil when you changed it? how much came out?

My guess is you need to rebuild the whole motor - heads need it but i bet something on the bottom end caused the cam shaft from spinning correctly and now you have issues w/ the timing, timing chain, and something on the bottom end. Pull the oil pan and take a look
