2016 SE 1.8L Not starting

Hi, any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! Long and short of it. 2016 Elantra 1.8L, 31k on rebuilt motor from Hyundai. Changed the oil, then went to start it to double check for leaks, there was a misfire. Engine light turns on and code shows CAM sensor, bank 1. Replaced both CAM sensors, cleared code and tried to start. Wouldn't start. Code shows up again. Took sensors out and re-installed. Cleared code, showed up again. Odd thing is, it would not start. It's like it's "right there" but won't start. Researched things, sounds like crankshaft sensor is very common at the same time. So I replaced that too. Still won't start. Then went old school and did spark plugs, coils and cleaned throttle body. Then it started but wouldn't stay running. CAM sensor code comes up again... Pulled the sensors and replaced with new ones, thinking maybe got bad ones. Now not only will it not start, but there are no codes!

Thank you for reading!

Wow. These kinds of threads really stink becuase the troubleshooting and, in your case, replacement of parts can be exhuasting and expensive. I wish I could be of some help but I've got nothing.

Hopefully someone will be along soon that has some ideas.
Well after getting frustrated and cussing like a sailor and just not touching the dang thing for a while, found it to be the throttle body.
Hopefully you didn't have to just throw parts at it but thenk you for posting what fixed the issue so future 'searchers' will have info.
