I have been thru this b4 when i bought my van not going ,had jumped teeth on timing and shot the cam carrier away from the head , new head and timing gear fixed that , but it wouldnt go , only for a few revs and stop, i pulled my hair out for ages, then i found a post on this site somewhere that advised if you remove the crank sensor you need to replace it. As the tolerance is very small and sets itself when intially done up.(bloody silly idea)
The reason they go for a few revs is or could be the reason is that computor is using known data that works and then when switching to sensors it fails, anyhowz replacing that sensors and i was good to go.
Also moving the adjustment at the pump would throw the whole timing out as its very crucile to get correct
So if it where me i would check your timing again using the special tool, or one made exactly like it , if you dont you also run the risk of getting timing wrong ,i done that as well ,as my van is nth sth and after removing sensor i thought i could just feel for the hole in the flywheel , as you cant just look down the hole....WRONG
,i found using a mirror the tooth to use has an even smaller recess ,ie for the tool, that needs to be lined up when the dowels holes in the pump etc.
So if you havent done that i wuold suggest try that b4 spending too much more
I tell yah you gotta be a computer mind reader to try and get to bottom of this issue using scan tools
They aint much help , i use a lauch to interrogate mine they tell you whats wrong but not why .then confuse you with other codes that may or may not be associated, i guess thats where experience kicks in
Sorry for the rant but i have been there and its not easy for the diy or even qualified mechanics
Good luck
