Yep, a shorted fuel rail pressure sensor can cause the engine not to start, here is the location of the sensor and additional information on the codes as well:

The code P0088 is a generic OBD-II trouble code that stands for "Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too High".

Here is the air intake sensor as well so you can swap it out or see if it is plugged in.

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
