NEED HELP Won't start

Replaced old motor, car ran fine for 3 days, then it started sputtering and would evetually die. After about 20mins it would start but soon as i let off the gas nothing. Swapped out the TB, crankshaft sensor, and figured it may be the old gas or clogged fuel filter. Changed out the filter (which was simple to do thanks to the .org). still no start afterwards fuel pump is pumping and also getting gas to the rail. Getting codes 464 Fuel Level Sensor; 180 Fuel Tank Temp Sensor. Would these give me a no start condition

Well looks like it was the grounding straps on the timing chain cover one of them had the screw just started in the hole with the wire barely making contact tightened it up and car started right up....test drive tomorrow.

glad you decided to post what you found since most people will just post a problem and then never post what the fix was for posterity
