It cranks and sounds like it’s about to start but doesn’t turn fully over.

When you turn the key on without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run inside the tank? If not, it sounds like the fuel pump has gone out. Also, you can try some starting fluid inside the engines intake to see if it runs for a few seconds. This will help confirm the fuel pump failure, here is a guide to help as well and how to replace the fuel pump in case you need it:
