Engine Mechanical problem
2002 Kia Optima Four Wheel Drive Automatic

So I came home from a vacation. My car sat for ten days. I go to start my car, it starts right away. I go to put my luggage in the car and it had already died. I restarted it and tried to drive off and it was jerking and puttering and died.. I had quarter a tank of gas and added some more to make a half tank. I had a friend look at it and he replaced the camshaft position sensor and also installed a brand new battery. Car started after the battery was installed and did the same thing puttered and jerked and died. Wont start at all now. Do you know what might be the problem... Keep in mind car was perfectly fine when I parked it and now... it wont start even when being jumped.
