Z Not Starting
Hi, I am in desperate need of advise. The other day as I was driving I noticed I was starting to lose power, I pulled into a parking lot, and killed the car. About 10 minutes later I got back in to see if it was still losing power, and after driving about a mile it completly died out. The car will crank, but will not start up. Fuel pump is good, just changed camshaft sensors, but it did not help. Im at a loss here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do what you can to confirm the basics, spark and fuel and go from there. You have 6 coilpacks, it's possible that 1 or more aren't working correctly, but I'm @ 102k and have no problems with my original 06 coilpacks.
A couple other ideas to consider, the plugs are scheduled to be changed at 110k. With your symptoms I would def make sure they've been changed. While not that high mileage your cats could be partially blocked. (The symptom of power loss). Good luck.

What do you mean by losing power? Like the engine is bogging down or the volt meter is losing power? Hook up a jump box and try starting it... Even if its cranking it might be losing too much power to run the starter and the computer... If it bogged down and lost power check for clogged air filter or collapsed catalytic converters like John suggested.
Spray a little carb and throttle body cleaner into your throttle body and see if it starts...

I agree with jhc...
First thing I was ever taught.
Fuel, spark and air. If your motor isn't running. Its not getting one of those things. Your job is to find out which one and why.
If you can do that you can fix almost any car troubles.
My first things I always check, is battery, spark plugs and spark system, then fuel delivery.
If its not any of those, grab some beers, get to digging and find some codes.
