I believe the forums crystal ball is off line at the moment, you might get a better response if you tell us what car/engine it is :-)

If the sensor has just been changed and the light remains on try turning the ignition on to position 2 (without starting the engine) and wait until the abs and srs lights go out.  Turn off again.  Repeat this 25 times.  

If the light still does not go out.  Do the paperclip test again and post all the results.  Paperclip test guide is in the link below...

Even if you have changed a sensor, the fault will still be logged for something like 25 "good" starts of the enigne.

If it still doesn't start after changing the sensor (and that was the only fault code), then i'd suggest that your sensor might be duff...or is it actually got no fuel?  That didn't actually show a fault code when my (non factory) immobiliser prevented the fuel pump from running..

Cam sensor shouldn't stop a 2.0 from running, though..just flag a fault.
