Hey my vy Calais won't start

It was stolen had 3kg sugar in tank cause I got it back, had to put new key and bcm in as well

Drove her for a week with sugar in it
without knowing

Now she's died and I've found that out
I've flushed tank
Blown lines out
Put a new sender in tank

Scan tool is saying camshaft idle position sensor missing and bcm reads not okay to start received from pcm
And Slip ring code

Clean the injectors/overhaul the injectors.

As for the other stuff, I’d suggest the thieves have damaged the wiring.

Narrowing those faults down to their cause will be time consuming and difficult, even with decent scan tool and an oscilloscope.

Sugar in the tank is something that used to happen in the olden days, either as a prank or to get even with someone. My understanding is the heat in the combustion chamber used to turn the fuel/sugar mixture into toffee, thereby jamming the pistons and ruining the engine.
