Default LS3 fbody problems

I finished my ls3 install last weekend with no problems. She started right up and worked beautifully for a day. The first time I actually got on it about 100 miles later she died and wouldn't start again afterwards. Everything seems to work fine electrically and I checked all my fuses, but I'm not getting any power to to cam or crank sensors. I don't know if maybe I shook something loose, but I checked out everything I could think of. It will turn over fine but won't start.

Ok so today I went and tried to start it and it started right up. I don't know what the deal is I didn't do anything to it. The fuel pump definately needs replaced though.

Yeah, but this week a racetronix kit is going in.
I am using a lingenfelter converter box and it wasn't getting power, then the next day it was. I didn't see any blown fuses or anything that would cause that. A bad ground maybe?

Ground or sensor itself, probably ground.
