How's the battery? Check the grounds to see if any are loose and check for corrosion as well.

Welp, you need fuel, spark, and air. How do you know that you are getting fuel to the injectors, though. One bad sensor somewhere and nothing is going to work.

Take a long, flat-head screwdriver and put the tip on top of one of the fuel injectors. Then, place your ear on a handle and listen to the injectors while someone is cranking the motor. You should hear the "tap, tap, tap....." of the injectors pulsing. If you do not, then NO fuel..

If the injectors are not running, then I would suspect either a bad ground or a faulty computer. It would unlikely that all the injectors would all go bad. Odds are, you have a bad computer or a bad wire someplace.

I was also have the battery load-tested. A poor battery can cause all sorts of problems. It is free to have it tested, so I would just pull it and take it somewhere.

BTW, why did you replace the crank sensor? That makes me suspicious.
