That just means the fuel pump is working. Crank sensor switches the injectors and fires the spark plugs. Dry plugs and no sparks implicate the crank sensor. Worth checking fitting, wiring and air gap.

Coil packs won't affect fuel flow.
Air gap should be around 0.5mm. Too big and the TDC sensor won't be able to pick up the signal from the trigger wheel. If there is no signal, the ECU doesn't believe the engine is turning over, so no spark, no fuel past the injectors.
All else aside, crank sensor is very strongly implicated.

It's unlikely, but not impossible.
I'd not go there yet. You need ignition key (and switch if you're not going to blag it), ECU, code box (if any).
Again, everything, but everything, points to the TDC sensor.

Coil and coolant temp sensor circuit.
You can find the codes on google simoly by typing the code and obd.
Try swapping the coils over: see if the code switches from circuit A to B. If not, start with a new set of leads.
