My car started and stalled. Will not start again. It turns over but there is no fire at the spark plugs. The fuel pump comes on, there is no check engine light on in the dash. We put a code reader on it and it doesn't read anything. It doesn't even read a tachometer reading when it is turning can you help me. Also the timing belt is fine.

Suspect the camshaft position sensor. With no pulses from it, the engine computer thinks the engine stopped so it turns off power to the injectors, coil(s), and fuel pump.
