I can help you, first to be clear the engine cranks over but will not start? If so then we need to see which system has failed, either fuel, spark or something mechanical inside the engine. Does the engine sound normal when it is cranking over? Can you upload short video so I can hear it? That way I can tell if the engine is okay or not.

Please go over this video which will help us see why the engine will not start:

Please go over this guide and get back to us.

the motor doesn't even turn over no clicking noise starter engages the solenoid kicks out the Bendix only jump starting on the starter. the car will not turn on turn over can bypass the starter the solenoid engages and the starter kicks in but no fire to start the engine maybe crank shaft sensor have no codes just one saying power steer coolant on milage gage like it did shutting down while driving how about park position sensor or neutral safety switch. Thanks

So the starter works correctly, and the engine does not start? Did you go over the video?

Here is a video of an engine not cranking over:
