Default Cam sensor???

Let my 02 trans am sit for 24 days while I was at work, when I got home last night the battery was low so I put it on trickle charge for the night, when I got up it cranked just fine and ran for ten minutes and then just went dead, the battery was still fully charged and its showing a full tank and has fuel pressure but just spins over and won't crank, I checked all the fuses and everything seems good, any suggestions?

If you can get to it..unplug the crank sensor near the starter and plug it back in.If its just turning over freely with no signs of getting fuel or spark..it will be cam or crank sensor related.happened to me before.Do you get any codes?

your car willl still run with the cam sensor messed up it will just start hard so the crank sensor makes sense. It's a pretty simple job, jack the car up, remove the starter and its right on the block there, its secured by one 10mm bolt pulll it out and reinstall.
