you mentioned the crank sensor. that got me to thinking. the last time my evo was on the dyno, the tuner dialed in a base map, and shut the car off to go outside and smoke a cig. when he hopped back in, the car wouldn't turn over. the tuner and a tech took a quick look under the hood and after a minute noticed that my TPS (throttle position sensor) had worked itself out. two minutes and a foot of all purpose wire kept the sensor in place. tuner turned the key, and car fired right up.
So, you might be on the right path by thinking its a bad sensor or loose connection. all it takes is one thing to come loose and you're not getting far.

That has happened to me on the track. The crank sensor went out on straight way, luckly i coasted into the pits. When we checked it out, it would crank but woulnt turn over, we pulled the fuel line and no pressure. We changed the pump there and still nothing, so we got it back to the shop ran diagnostics and there was no signal from crank sensor.
Also another time it was my idle control valve, located right underneath the throttle body.
Good luck!

Lol. Not blaming you, but I'm tickled by this conclusion. Well, at any rate I don't fell dumb/feel like I do have some idea of what I'm talking!
In the end, it was electrical, an a fuse issue. Again not callin op out, but how many of us pointed him in that direction?
Glad the prob was resolved, and didn't cost too much!!
