For a while my Mustang has been idling rough when I first start it in the morning. Yesterday it idled on down and died and now it won't crank at all. It threw a camshaft sensor fault, and a lean fault, I replaced the sensor,but it still won't start and isn't throwing any more codes.It turns but it never cranks, just sputters and shudders and makes wheezing noises. (It makes noises like a car drowning in gas, but doesn't smell rich)

check the timing and also if the idle jet is opperating correctly. cold start mec could also be faulty. you can program it out

change the fuel filter and check the fuel pressure

How old is your battery? if it is 8 years old, I'm betting on the battery being dead. They can die rather suddenly, has happened to me twice. Battery will have enough power to run lights and such, but not crank the engine/power up the FI system. Otherwise, could be the relay.

Engine stalls cold or RPM fluctuates at idle up and down or dies near idle.

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve but always run a OBD2 fault code as well as the cleaning procedure. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control. If the above cleaning doesn't cure your issues you need to have the computer controlled automatic idle speed control system diagnosed and repaired by a dealer or electronic engine control repair shop.

You may have a valve leak.

Sounds like a possible throttle positioning sensor.

99cadillac deville won"t stay crank and making loud popping sounds

it sounds like you have a injector leaking down into one of your cylinders so it is flooding out a cylinder thus runs rough and long cranks.

1. idles didn’t adjust right.
2. check the timing
3. check your fire order
4. check your distributor cap. Maybe it is leaking
