Replacing the crank sensor would be a start if it threw that code.

Sounds like a fuel pump problem. I would replace that first (if its starting to fail) but also check your fuel line and fuel filter. Once you get the fuel pump working you can see if you got a nice flow through the fuel line by collecting the fuel that comes out of the line in a bottle.

Sounds like a dodgy solenoid on the starter to me

Could be immobiliser problem that it's not putting power to the starter take the starter out earth the body of the starter and put a positive onto the terminals at the back of the solenoid and see if it flicks out the starter gear and if it does its not a problem with the starter

Other thing to try is get a multi meter earth the negative and put the positive on the back of the solenoid and get someone to try and turn it over and see what voltage you are getting there
