Default Motor died and won't start

So I'm driving to work the other night and the engine just died. No bang, nothing, just died. It cranks just fine, but won't start. I turn the key and don't hear the fuel pump running, so I start there. I swapped the fan relays for the fuel pump relays, no change. I found the power feed for the fuel pump and I hotwire it to make sure the pump is working, and the pump runs fine now, but it still won't start. So, apparently something shut down the pump and the spark. I changed the crank position sensor as recommended in some searches I did, but It still won't start. Any suggestions on where to look next?

Hook up a scanner to it and see if it's throwing any codes. Gotta be something electrical for it to just die for no reason. How about a camshaft position sensor? Once you check the codes it will prob tell you what the problem is.
