Bad crank sensor, they run about 50 to 80 bucks and there are several videos on youtube that show how to change it.

Check the fuel pressure as well as the wires coming from the body to the harness leading to fuel tank, will have to get under vehicle but some vehicles have an inspection plate typically located under a back seat to allow access to the fuel pump. A constant voltage will show on two wires as this is the fuel gauge and 2 wires will show up to 9 volts when the key is turned but only for a split second as it shuts off when system is pressurized. A bad ground to the tank or on this harness will give starting problems.
