Default 2012 3.6l Wrangler

3.6L was making a ticking noise which got worse, so checked the motor. It was out of time, put it back in time, changed to rockers and lifters, put it back together, and now I'm getting the MAP sensor code and the cam position sensor code 3045.

Won't start now, got it to start once for 5-10 seconds and it stalled out and sounded horrible, and smelling some fuel when trying to start. Confirm MAP sensor and cam shaft position sensors were properly plugged in. Its acting like it isn't firing. Any ideas??

I do not mean to ask what you might think is a dumb or basic question, but when we have zero background on someone we're just not sure of skillset. Is it safe to assume that you 100% nailed the timing, getting cylinder 1 at TDC before installing all the new timing components? Is there any chance that while you had the camshafts out of the head that you set them on or around metal surfaces (wondering if jacked up the tone rings)??
