No 'CRANK' after stall.... Suspect failing alternator... Have the charging system checked. .. If it were anything else, it would still 'CRANK' after stall but would not 'START'.!!!

Did the car throw a code, ck engine light came on? I suspect that your camshaft sensor is bad and since the computer did not get any action from it decided that the engine stopped and shut everything down. The best way is get the code read and see. I had the same issue and took a gamble and bought the camshaft sensor and she started up, I did do the crank as well. Only Autozone carries a lifetime warranty on this part. I would suggest doing the crankshaft sensor as well, but it is a bear ot change out. It is located just above the starter on a turbo, which I have. How many miles doe shse have on her and changed any sensors at all? Check youtube for for application and good luck.
