Default 350z Shut down while driving..now crank no start

2005 350z Base Stock.....(daily driver) I was driving on the highway and the car just shut down.... When it shut down the Check eng Light came on! I pulled code P0461 Fuel Level Sensor a circuit.... no other codes. Towed car home. Clear code P0461.... Now its a crank no start. I can hear the fuel pump priming. I checked fuses. Sprayed intake with starting fluid (nothing).... going to check spark when I get home tonight. Any ideas..... If it was one of the sensors I should get a code correct? I'm getting 420 miles to a tank. I'm like 200 miles into last fill up...

Thanks for any help

You sprayed starting fluid in the TB before even checking the battery or starter?!

camshaft position sensors go bad and dont always throw a code can cause your car to shut down and not start, but usually starts after a bit.

Starter is good.....
Battery was replaced Last year and car is driving daily averaging about 125 miles a day (4-5) days a week.....
I haven't checked spark.. (doing that when I get home)
I hear the fuel pump priming, but its not strong....
Anyone know the fuel pressure specs for the pump? Will bad fuel pressure give a crank no start?

Thanks

It's probably a blown fuse. Check the fuel delivery fuses and relays.

EDIT: Here's a thread for a guy who had a similar problem not that long ago:

Well here is an update! Got it running.... It was between the Cam Shaft Bank II and the Crank Sensor. I changed both sensors and charged up the battery. I also added gas in the tank. Took her for a 100 mile run today up some twisty roads to confirm she's running good. all is well.....

thanks everyone for the help and the forum is great place when looking for help.....
