2000 Maxima SE problem

Ok. So 2 days back, i pumped gas into my car, turned out the gas station and came to the first stop light, and my car just died and would not start back up. So after getting it towed home, i checked it out. The car will turnover, but just wont startup. Also, i dont hear my fuel pump prime at all. But, when i press the clip in on the fuel pump relay, it sound like it wants to prime. So that relay is a MAYBE. What ive been reading, it could be a Camshaft issue. So i really need some advice on what to try since i already missed like 2 days of work because of this retarded out of nowhere issue.

Spray w/e you want in the intake (after maf) to try to start it. If that doesn't work, then it is a cam sensor.

after... the MAF, remove the black housing (MAF) and spray inside toward the TB, put back the back housing and try to turn it on.

Well i bought the cam sensor, tried it, no luck. Now when you say spray "whatever" inside the MAF, you mean electrical spray correct?
