Checked codes, it has five, they are:
23-front fuel injector
24 front ignition coil
25- rear ignition coil
32- rear fuel injector
41- crank position sensor
WHAT THE HELL? Is the crank sensor causing all of this? Please help!!!

I doubt that it is the ignition switch. Yes, the CKP (Crank position sensor) could be causing all of those codes, but it still may not be that. As stated before, check the battery. Autozone will do free battery tests. Check to see if you are getting spark. If no spark, Do you have a tuner on it? If so try taking the tuner out of line, and see if it will then start. If not, my vote then is the CKP.

Sounds like a Crank Position Sensor to me too. Your trouble codes tell the story...

If the CKP is not working the ECM or Turner does not know the engine is turning over so there will be no spark.
All your codes lead you to a bad CKP.

Read a little further down in that thread and you will see that the CKP needs to be connected while doing that test. Still a good video of what a bad CKP reading would look like though.
