    Check the crank pulley, make sure it has not cracked and separated.

    Could be your fuel pump. However, when my fuel pump went, there were no engine codes thrown.

    Fuel pumps typically last around 10 years give or take 2 or 3.

    Also take the opportunity to change your fuel filter.

    Assuming it's a manual transmission could it be the sensor for the clutch pedal that perhaps doesn't think that the pedal is pushed in all the way?
