Car ran fine all day turned it off then came out to leave it started ran for a min a shut off now it wont start, cranks but wont turn over. The fuel pump primes when keys turn (can hear it). What would cause it to run then shut off and not start back?

You need to check the fuel pressure. Even though you hear it, it still needs the correct pressure.
Spark is the other issue. If the module or crank sensor fail, it would do the same thing.
You need help from a shop to verify and give you a bid.
