Default GROUND WIRES

hey, my car wont start sometimes from what i believe is a bad ground somewhere... the engine turns over but wont fire up but then once in a while it will start, run for a while, then die... does that sound like a bad ground? and what grounds should i be checking? thanks guys

If it was a bad ground it would not turn over or turn over very weakly. When it does not start, check if you are getting codes.

Fuel pump fuse and/or relay gone bad. Did you check the O2 wiring when you replaced the sensor?

Or camshaft position sensor.
