Would run but after awhile I turned off car and would not start again.

After car cools down it started again. Now it won't do anything and doesn't read any codes.

When I go to try and start my 2004 Chevy Malibu. I will turn the key to the on position and then try to turn it over. When I try turning it over it won't even crack over. It doesn't do anything.

We changed both camshaft sensors, the engine light on code. Engine light Still comes on. Runs sometimes. It'll run great, then like crap again, and dies as I'm driving it. Makes no sense to me. Going to the shop next week.
