There's no description of any of that being done.

For an engine to run, you need air fuel, compression and a spark and testing all 4 should be bread and butter to a mechanic.

In his defence I was there dropping my brother off to collect his car and asked if he'd mind quickly reading the codes for me to give me a starting point to look at.
I just wondered if anyone else had found the same fault or if an engine speed sensor fault could mean cam sensor instead of crank perhaps??
