Question run out of ideas

I am new to posting here, I have a 2006 S40 T5 that had an overheating problem. The water pump was bad, and the head warped. I sent the head out and had it repaired along with a valve job. New pump, belt, and idler and tensioner pulleys. Started the car, ran smooth for about 10 seconds and died. Ran a scan tool, replaced front bank cam positioning sensor and crank sensor. Still no start. I have spark at the plugs and fuel in the rail, pump works. Anyone have any ideas?

Run a compression check. Just to be sure.

Wink running out of ideas

Thank you, I have tried everything else, what could it hurt. One of the guys in my shop said to do that, but I guess my stubbornness and ego got the best of me. The one thing I don't understand is I did everything by the book and the car ran great, and when it died, it acted like it was starving for fuel or spark. The engine made no odd sounds. Anyway, thank you!!!
