Year? Model?
You might have flooded the engine with gas, which is making it difficult to get the car to start. Thats the first thing that comes to my mind.

RE: ENGINE CRANKS BUT WON’T RUN
maybe you got the fuel shutoff switch flipped somehow, did you check that?
is it even possible to flood a fuel injected car with gas?

Replace the word flooded with having over-fueled lines.
Have you tried hitting the gas pedal as you try to crank?
