Hi,
In most cases, a crank no start is the result of a fuel pressure issue or an ignition related issue.
Here is what I need you to do: first, see if it starts or tries to start if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is fuel related. If there is no change, then we need to check if there is an ignition spark at the spark plugs.
Here is a link that explains how that is done:

Try this and let me know what you find.
