Not starting and no tach

I have a 96 XJ6, VIN: SAJHX1747TC761609. It has about 196000 miles. After driving about an hour I filled the gas tank. The car started normally but only went about 20 feet and stalled. I restarted it and ran a shorter length of time before stalling. I had it towed to my home. The next day I tried to start it. The starter worked but the car did not start at all, the tach showed no rpms, it only slightly dipped. I bought a new crankshaft position sensor and put it in the next day. The car still cranks, there is still no attempt of starting, no rpms and the tach only slightly dips. The car had recently started to miss and more recently the abs and tracking systems failed. I need the car quickly but I can not afford to just change out parts.

Check engine light

I put the key in and turn it and all the lights light up, including check engine. When I turn it further and the starter runs the check engine light flickers.
