Will it start for a couple seconds with starting fluid?

I do not know I was told it would not work because of the mass air flow intake. I do not know if that is correct or not. I found that the crank sensor is not testing out like it should. Could this be the problem?

Yes, a crank sensor will prevent it from starting. I need you to try starting it with starting fluid. Based on the result, I will know which direction we need to go.
