Test the crank sensor while cool then after the vehicle shuts down and compare against what the readings should be, it can be done with a basic multimeter and worst case scenario you've eliminated a legitimate possible cause cheaply and easily. The Ignition Control Module could also be the cause but unlike the crank sensor that SHOULD throw an engine code. Fuel pump relay is a cheap and easy part to replace that could also cause that
