Bad gas or clogged fuel filter(s) would be my first port of call. Alternatively there are several documented cases of damaged wire to the crank position sensor on this forum and on others (see link below). Welcome to the forum!

Sock filter on the fuel pump? Any other work you've done recently? Check the crank position sensor wiring out!

Get a multimeter or rope in someone that can wield a multimeter with effect and check the crank position sensor wiring out!

Do you have a Factory service manual and did you check for fault codes?
