Definitely check the wiring if in any doubt about it's condition. OBDII scan is also worth doing but bear in mind sensors it reports bad may be okay but loom fault. Incidentally a faulty cam sensor shouldn't stop it from starting, so, check if the red LED on top of the dash goes out - could be an immobiliser fault...
