I have a '98 Windstar, replaced fuel filter and pump.

Fuel shut off switch may need to be reset. A friend of mine had it trip when he had a flat tire some years ago on ford car. The reset on his was behind the plastic piece to the right of where the video below. Video below shows fuel shut off/inertia switch on upper floorboard passenger side.

You can try swapping out your fuel pump relay to make sure the relay is not bad. Below link may help

MAKE SURE YOU GET POWER TO YOUR PUMP. ALSO CHECK YOUR VOLTS ON THE LINE . IF NOT CORRECT REPLACE RELAY

Sounds like you are on the right track with the crank sensor.

Try replacing the fuel filter also Has it had a tune up? they need to have the plugs replaced at 100,000 if the fuel filter does not work then the most probable cause is the fuel pump is losing pressure when hot. The pump warms up and the check valve fails to close all the way allowing a now fuel or fuel starvation.

sound like you have a bad fuel pump no other reason to burn a fuse for fuel pump

Does it just crank and crank,or does it barely try to start.Check fuel pump relay under hood or for a fuse..Or turn the ignition to the run position but dont start it and have someone listen by fuel tank for the fuel pump to make the humming noise.Most of the items you have listed in the post more than likely would not make the car just suddenly not run unless fuel pump relay is bad..

This was happening to me in my f150 and I changed the fuel filter and that fixed it

Relay is located under the hood in the power box. Under the power box lid shows where the relay is

u may need some fuel tank cleaning, rust may be clogging the fuel line thats why the fuel cant get thru, change the fuel filters too. hope this helps

If it doesnot crank at all look for starter/starter relay/starter relay fuse. Most probably wiring coming to starter is loose, try to tighten it more (push towards starter). Also I would check antiteft system (if it is provided for your car) as some BMW have immobilizers.
If it cranks no start look for spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, coolant temperature sensor, O2 sensor, fueling system (fuel pump cutoof switch, fule pump relay, fuel filter).
Please kindly let me know if you need more information, or kindly provide me with more details to assist you better
Good Luck
