Default Need help. Replaced timing kit car won't start

I bought a new timing kit. Installed it. Hooked everything back up like youre supposed to do. Now once I do the passlock bybass with the 10 min intervals the security light goes off but it still wont start. It's throwing ignition codes but I don't see having to replace anything bc it wasn't messed up before I started. Any advice would be much appreciated

Sorry, I'm not following this at all.

You bought and installed a timing kit - like the chain + sprockets? Did the original break?

Has it ever run OK? You mention doing some kind of security bypass, but just unplugging the battery to change the chain shouldn't have done anything to the security setup so I'm wondering why you have to bypass anything.

Edit- also what car / engine is this on? I presume its a 95+ since you mention a security module.

sprocket was cracked.I bought the timing kit. new sprockets top and bottom and a new chain. I also had to get a crank sensor which is where this all started from. When I put the harmonic balancer back on from changing crank sensor i didn't line the keyway up. (first time taking off balancer didnt know you had too) and when i tried to start it. timing chain sprocket cracked. I had bought the timing kit. I got it in time got the crank sensor on ever since then its been in antitheft mode
