I dont believe its cam or crank sensor....a 2.2.....possibly 2.6/3.2 will start with them disconnected.....tho havnet tried disconnecting both of them together......it struggles...prolly 5 secs of cranking but it will start.

Sounds like imoboliser prob if the EML is flashing

These cam sensors on 2.2's have a lot to answer for, but this does sound a bit more than that.

Sounds immobiliser due to flashing EML, but I would never rule out cam sensor on a flipping 2.2  >:(

What you have to remember is that 'the wife' thinks it might be flashing which in a womans case means, 'no probably not, didnt notice, not my colour'  ;D
