I autocross this car and at the last event I was going around a sweeping corner and the car shut off. I've never had any running issues with the car. I towed it off the track and couldn't get fuel to the rail. easy enough. I towed it home, turned the key and the fuel primed normally but the car still wouldn't start. I scanned for codes but got nothing. I replaced the cam and crank sensors per some advice I saw here but still no start. I'm a bit lost at the moment and hoped someone might have some suggestions.
Notable points
-engine shut off while driving with no previous symptoms
-new cam and crank sensors
-no immobilizer(extra square fob from factory)
-fuel at rail
-cranks and turns over well
-I haven't checked spark physically yet but I assume whatever is supposed to tell the coils to fire isn't doing that
I hate to start a new thread because I have seen several like this one but I couldn't find anything similar to what I'm experiencing that wasn't a cam or crank sensor.
