Car cranks and cranks but won't start

[dreaminginRED]

I really need help I am flat broke and this is my situation:

About a month ago we had a snow storm, and I banged up the car on a curb pretty bad, cracking the rim. Basically, the car has been sitting for that month. I finally got a new rim on last week and went to start the car. It cranked and cranked and nothing. I had started it once about two weeks ago to move the car a very short distance and it started right up. Was only on a few seconds, which I know isn't great for the car, but I had no choice. While it was sitting there was another snow storm, and it was HEAVY. Car sat through that. At this point, I can't afford to get it towed. I need to figure out what this is and take care of it myself, with relatively limited resources, or the car's pretty much done.

Some details:
-2002 spec V with 203k
-Car cranks and cranks. Modulating the accelerator causes car to stumble occasionally, but not start.
-Oil and gas levels are fine
-Fuel pump is audible on start-up, and was replaced around 120k
-Spark plugs are acceptably worn, and possibly very slightly blackened from oil, but I figure that's normal since I burn about 1qrt/3000k, and I doubt that would cause the car to suddenly not start
-Also, when I took out a plug to test, it appeared to spark strong and bluish.
-Sprayed carb cleaner several times into throttle body area. Car may have stumbled a lil, but still didn't start.
-Crankshaft position sensor was replaced a while ago with the new metal one, HOWEVER, my camshaft position sensor is the original crappy plastic kind.
-No codes though when I do the diagnostic pedal test. If I disconnect the sensor, and try cranking it, and test again for codes, it reads what it should: 0340. So I figure if the sensor were bad it would be reading that code, but it's doesn't when the sensor is plugged in, indicating it should be functioning.

At this point I'm lost. I doubt all four injectors would crap out on me at once. Same with like a clogged fuel filter. Doubt it would cause sudden problems when the car ran perfectly a few weeks ago. Our filters are built into the pump anyways, correct? BP premium doesn't go bad that fast does it?

I figured with all the snow and then melting that maybe something electrical but, again, no codes, and I've checked EVERY fuse.

I don't know anymore. Any suggestions? Probably gonna suck it up and try the cam sensor, but I've already spent a ton of money fixing this car, and I'm SERIOUSLY broke. 30$ is a lot for me.

Thanks for your help.

if its cranking and not attempting to fire or "stumble" then i would go with it being your cam/crank sensors.

make sure your battery is fully charged and the terminals and ground are secured and have good contact.

if its cranking slow, you need a new battery or a jump, but make sure the battery is recharging.

try and change your cam position sensor. this happen to me like 2 weeks ago on the freeway. car driving then just died. then when i tried to start it just turned over. 10 min fix hope this works for you.
