The camshaft and crankshaft have to be properly synchronized. If one is not timed properly then the other is effectively off as well, thus the correlation between the two.
The "engine timing mechanism" is a system of gears and belts(or chains) that keep the rotation of the crankshaft synchronized (timed) with the cam shaft so they operate at the same intervals.
You need to make sure that the cam and crank are properly timed and all of the electrical is connected properly
Replace the chain and both the cam and crankshaft gears.
The dot on crankshaft at 12 o'clock and dot on cam gear at 6 o'clock the centerline of crankshaft, dots on gears, and centerline of camshaft should all be inline.
the gears come with a dot punched on each, line them up together,the cam one is down to the crankshaft one and the crankshaft one is up to the cam one so that they are exactly in line with each other almost touching each other
Cam gears are also refered to as sprockets (just another name). A chain or belt that is driven by a crankshaft gear/sprocket turns the cam gear(s)/sprocket(s). In certain high performance applications there is no chain, there are just gears meshing but that is probably not relevant to your question.
the significance of cam position is the cam has to be timed to crankshaft so valves etc open at right time so engine will run correctly
The gears keep the cam timing in sequence with the crankshaft. So the valves open when their suppose to and no damage occurs from valve to piston clearances.

A cam sprocket is a part which is attached to one end of a cam shaft in an engine. A cam sprocket, along with the timing belt maintain the timing between the camshaft and crankshaft, which ensures that the engine runs properly.
it is auto timed thru the cam shaft and crankshaft sensors.You cannot change it. The timing belt has timing marks when you change the belt in which you line up the crank and cams.
