Default Crank but does not start

I have a 09 c6. It started and ran great Friday. I get in it today and it turns over but does not start. Also when it turns over. I can take my finger off the start button and it keeps turning over and the check engine light comes on until I push the off button. I have checked for codes and there are none. what could the problem be?

Try swapping the fuel pump relay with another one of the same type in the under hood fuse box.
Also, it is normal for the engine to continue to crank after you let go of the start button. All you have to ever do is touch and release. You don't have to hold it down until the engine starts.

To add, check the connector for the cam sensor on the front of the timing chain cover to make sure it did not pop off.
