Just by turning on the key you should hear the fuel pump come on. Sitting for 5 months, That can have a effect on the fuel pump not turning on. Now when you say the crank sensor is not pick up by the scanner are you looking at the RPM signal and is it greater than 250 RPM if its not the fuel pump wont even turn on.

What is the behavior of air mass sensor failure?
What is the behavior of failed fuel filter?
Can spark plugs effect starting and idling?
How about clogged fuel filter how does it show?

Looking forward to your quick reply

You should hear the fuel pump turn on just by cycling the key, If it was running when you park it, 2 things to be concerned about the battery, the fuel pump, This always happens to MBZ when sitting for quite sometimes
