Default Engine turns over wont start

Having problems with a 99 ram 360 that turns over but wont start. Stalled out suddenly on the road, and rotates but wont start. I've got spark, I can hear the fuel pump whirr when I turn the ignition on. My next step is to get a fuel pressure tester. Any Ideas?

if you have spark then start with the cam position sensor in the distributor, otherwise, I'd go with the crank position sensor.

Fuel pressure is good (50psi). Sounds like a good idea. I will test the cam sensor and crank sensor

If you are getting spark, the crank sensor is doing it's job. Are you getting injector pulse?
