Default 350z no start

Getting no spark.
Car just died while driving one day under normal conditions.
I can hear fuel pump prime.
Replaced NATS antenna and ipdm already and still no spark.
I can still pull codes so I don't think the ecu is bad? "Code pulled doesn't pertain to no start. I am certain."
The car started a few times after it died but ran rough and died every time. Now it doesn't start at all.
If the fuel pulse/pressure isn't correct would it cause a no spark to plugs?

I forget at the moment. I'll have to scan again when I get home and post it but I've talked to 3 performance shops as well as 2 dealerships before and they said it can't be that.
Has new cam/crank sensors too.
If I don't figure it out in the next 2 weeks I'm just going to bring it to the dealer.
Thinking it may be something with keys. I noticed not long before the red security light would stay on while driving sometime which is why originally I thought the NATS antenna finally went out but guess it wasn't that

Only thing that throws me off is why the car would start a few times after and run rough and then not start at all?

Start by attempting to get the code(s). If that doesn't work, it is a much larger problem that requires guessing.

starting to think its a bad ground somewhere. motor has been R/I a few times....doubt its a tuning issue because its ran perfect for the past 3 years on the same tune. good battery connections/grounds. new ipdm,nats antenna/cam/crank sensors/spark plugs... guess i'll find out next week what it is when I bring it to the shop.
keys/ecu/bcm, bad ground, maybe even timing chain...lol idk but hope to find out soon!

For sure. And... Why do so many people resist (neglect?) getting codes that often provide definitive solutions?

I do not want to discourage new members and their posts.

How can we help them find answers without insulting them when they ask routine questions?

i get that, i do... can i be an ***, yep i can.

common sense would be to pull the codes, do just a bit of research, and then ask.... his first post was very vague at best and he still hasn't posted the codes.

I agree with you. It's strange that people do not pull codes.
