Brand new batteries seldom come with a full charge, usually about 11V or so. The starter will not engage when the charge is less than 10V, so charge the battery! It takes a lot of volts to spin the starter and engage the solenoid.

Which port did you read the codes from? You should be looking at A-6, the electrical systems.

A-1 = tranny and A-2 = fuel injection.

BTW, when using the diagnostic ports, a lot of battery power is also used. If you are using a trickle charger (the only good way to charge), leave it hooked up while looking at the codes.

Does the wire from the cam position sensor cross one of the ignition wires? If so, move it as leaks can disrupt the CPS signal. It is also a good chance the CPS sensor is dead after all of these years. Do a scan for CPS sensor to find how to diagnose it.
