OP states engine fires. just doesn't start.
Could be a bad crank position sensor.
But I try to go with basic diagnostic procedures.
That means go from the simplest to the most complex.
Step by step.
So Fuses, relays, battery.
Air, Spark, Fuel.
Those are the most basic.
He is getting spark.
need to see if he is getting correct fuel pressure.
OP also has codes related to the E-gas so throttle position sensor could be an issue.
If fuel pressure proves good.
Then I would go up the ladder to things like throttle position sensor, crank position sensor, step by step.
