me, i'm a hard ass. i'd rather diagnose it before throwing parts and watching what sticks. betting it's the crank sensor-here's how-

when it cranks and doesn't start, does it have spark? hear the fuel injectors click?

if no to both, it's the crank sensor.

if yes to spark but no to injectors, probably the fuel pump relay. needs further diagnosis to confirm.

if yes to injectors but no spark, then it could be the amp you replaced or the coil, cap, etc. again needs further looking.

if yes to both, then i suspect again the fuel pump relay. it can run the injectors without running the pumps OR 1 of the pumps has died, tank pump or main pump. again , more testing.

now classic crank sensor failure is gets hot, shuts off, cools off and starts. the other items mentioned are USUALLY fail completely, no start again. if i have to use the dartboard for an lh 2.4 no start, crank sensor wins. good luck, chuck.
