The first thing we need to do is check for spark or fuel to see which system has failed, also can I ask if the security light is flashing? If so this is the problem and we should do a hard reboot of the system which this guide can show you.

Also, this guide can help as well

If the engine does not run on starting fluid I would try swapping out he crankshaft sensor which is a common failure. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
