Default trouble starting, been chasing the issue for a while!

hey so I’ve got an 03 350z with a de motor that died on me during a drive to work, so from the beginning the car had a slight tick shortly after driving it for a little so I changed the oil and the tick went away, not long after that I started getting a rattle only on startup for about a couple seconds and then it would go away, the rattle was present whether it was cold or up to temp, I assumed it was the timing chain tensioners. So finally about a week passes by of just normal daily driving and then one morning when I go to start it up and go for a drive I the tick is back, mid drive down my street going about 20 mph the car dies, it instantly gives me a cam sensor bank 1 and random misfire (p0340, p0300) the car would start and then instantly die , I wasn’t even able to rev it to keep it running, I proceed to push the car home and eventually change my spark plugs, both cam sensors and the crankshaft sensor and after all that was done the car just continues to crank and no longer starts up.


if anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening please let me know or help me out I’ve been chasing the issue for over a month and I don’t know what else to do, I don’t know too much about working on cars.

i have some theories about why it’s not running but I don’t wanna be guessing and chasing this issue anymore I need other input

edit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsOW...ature=youtu.be here is a video of me cranking the car

I got two cam sensors from 1a auto and swapped them out earlier, I actually was able to crank and start the engine BEFORE I replaced bank 1 and bank 2, but now it just cranks and cranks
