Were you pressing on the accelerator pedal while trying to start the car? If so that's why the code was thrown. Cars today are fuel injected under fuel pressure and pressing the pedal does little to start the car. Sounds like no fuel is present or bad cam sensor. Try starter fluid sprayed into the throttle body while you try to start the car. If it starts and stays running as long as starter fluid is sprayed in the it is a fuel delivery problem. Bad fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator and so on.
