Not to sure whats going on.

So I picked up payments on my boys 05 g35 coupe. He didn't take much care of it. The same weekend I got it I traced down a short because drl kept blowing out. Then camshaft sensor went out. So I replaced it was able to do it without removing the throttle body like some people were saying. I'm down to fixing the driver side window and the main problem a coolant leak.

Problem: the other night I was leaving the store mad sure the radiator had coolant. I live 1 exit off the freeway. When I was exiting the engine shut off on me. It didn't act funny temp didn't rise but when i came to a stop it was smoking. I towed it home. So that's when the camshaft code came up. I changed it. Now when i turn my key it does not turn over but sounds like it wants to start. Could this possibley maybe now be a spark issue? My neighbor said the spark plugs might have condensation. Is that a possibility? I'm going to pull the plugs out in the morning.

Check the plugs, these motors are known for having oil seep through the seals/gasket...I'd looking into replacing the valve seals/gasket while you're there.
Was there still coolant when it started smoking? How about oil?

Yes I had just added coolant when i got into my car. I didn't have a chance to pull my plugs out today.

Right now it almost sounds like maybe the starter is spinning my not engaging maybe.
