Ok first will it run if you spray carb clean in the intake still? You said it did but didn't mention if it still does. Do you have fuel coming from the injectors and do you have an injector pulse? Have you check the fuel pump shut off relay? Let me know what you get and we will go from there.

So do you still have spark? If you do then you are missing fuel with would mean that either the fuel pump or fuel pump shut off relay or computer. We need to know if you have an injector pulse too, this will require a noid light.

If you have fuel pressure and you already replaced the crank sensor and you can't get the engine to start even by spraying fuel or starting fluid in the throttle body I would think that the ignition module would be a suspect. You can usually have it tested for free at the parts store. I still think that you should invest in a spark test light to see if there is spark and a noid light set to see if there is pulse. You can get both of these items for less than $30 at Harbor Freight (my favorite Chinese made supply store)
