Default Car died on the freeway.

Hi guys, new here and was wondering if anyone could help me. I was driving to work the other night when I felt the car lose power. All the lights in the cluster went on and I decided to pull over to the side. I turned off the car and tried turning it on but it wouldn't . It sounds like it's trying to start but won't turn over. Got it towed to my house and scanned it.

It would help if we knew the type of car, and what the scan said.

It threw 4 codes. One for the MAF low input. 2 for camshaft sensor and lastly a misfiring cylinder . Does anyone know if any of those caused what happened? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Normally I would say it sounds like classic fuel pump failure, but you have too many codes. Not saying it isn't fuel pump, but my guess is the CEL was on prior to the stalling and not starting. Was it? And for how long? Either of the camshaft codes could cause a no start or hard start, but seems you have multiple problems.

Actually the CEL wasnt on prior to the stalling. It just lit up right before it stalled. Also how would i know if its the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay?

Do the wires to these sensors all run the same route? Maybe check for melted wires from the sensors. If they can't read, the car won't run.
