i had a similar problem with mine. i had 12 and 13 turned out (for me anyways) that the White wire going to the crank sensor was crushed. so i had to rewire that to the plug on top ( i think its a 6 wire grey plug on the head next to the fuel injector) i fixed it by rewiring that wire. hope you can find out your problem!

only like this when you first start it up? when its hot it runs fine, or all the time it runs like this? my thoughts are if its running like you have a race cam in it, your troubles are more than a sensor... does it have power when you drive it around? or it just seems dead? ill check our work computer when we open up this morning (boss is late, he thought monday morning was sunday morning, im sitting in my car, in front of my work) to see about setting the fcrank to TDC...

Check the cam sensor wiring - if the T-belt was done before and if the wires leading to the sensors aren't placed into their clips, the moving serpentine belt will slice them like a guillotine.
