Default 2000 monte ss cranks but wont start

I drove my car up to my cabin and when i went to start it again it would crank but not start any ideas on what it could be? Possibly the crank sensor?

Could be a couple of situations. Top two I can think of:
-Dead battery (when they decide it's time, you normally don't get any warning, it's just done).
-The anti-theft system engaged. A "PCM Relearn" may help resolve this.

Can you hear the fuel pump running when you turn the key to the run position? No fuel could cause that. Have you checked for a spark? I also ran into a similar situation where it would turn over and fire VERY briefly but would die as soon as i let off the starter. That turned out to be a bad MAF sensor. You can try unplugging the MAF sensor and seeing if it will start for you. I wish I knew this before we trailered it to take to my buddy's garage and scraped up the underside of the front bumper something fierce

Just a couple ideas. Good luck and let us know what it ends up being.

Well it ended up being my fuel pressure regulator...again. I had just replaced it about one month ago so i did not expect that to be the problem.

Thanks for the ideas though
