Hi,

There is a chance the crankshaft position sensor has failed. Do me a favor, check to see if there is spark to the plugs. Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Also, take a look through this link and let me know if it mirrors what you experience.

One more test. See if the engine starts for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is a fuel issue. If it makes no change, then it's likely the ignition issue.

Let me know what you find.
