Car Turns Over and Backfires. Not Cranking I have a buddys car Im working on and it turns over then backfires and sometimes cranks. It sound like it out of time. I replaced cam and crank sensors and made sure timing is right. What else could it be?

I Had This Same Problem Couple Weeks Ago Ended Up Being The Cam Sensor Wire That Goes To The Computer Was Burned Just Replaced The Wire Works Fine Now. Follow The Wire Harness To The Computer To See If Wires Are Burned Or Shorted Out Just And Idea Hope It Helps

Did this just start happening or were you working on something else on the motor. Define turns over and cranks, they generally mean the same thing but you may be referring to something different.
Do you hear the fuel pump prime?

The pump primes and the car cranks sometimes and mifires. I found that the brown braided ground and another ground with it where loose on the frame. Could that cause it?
