Nothing really jumps out at me.
Take a look at the breather hose that goes from the valve cover gasket to the top of the air cleaner to see if it is cracked, often at the bottom of the valve cover side... (but I would think it would run a little and stumble a lot if that were the problem)
one quick test is to un plug the EHA to find out if it is computer related. You have to remove the air cleaner housing 2 bolts (10mm 1 rear left facing up and 2 middle right facing side) You will see a little black box on the back of the fuel distributor with a 2 prong plug.
This is the only control the computer exerts over the fuel system. ~When it is unplugged it is very dificult to start a cold engine in cold weather.~
Otherwise it mostly affects emissions, driveability is almost normal with a warm engine. So you could unplug it and see if it will run.
If you have no tools available, a less comprehensive test is to unplug the O2 sensor under the passenger footwell (under carpet, under padding, in black plastic box, green wire)

I'm not sure about the failure modes of the crank position sensor, but that is a possibility.
The fact that you just bought gas is suspicious, was there a tanker filling them up while you were there?
Maybe someone else will jump in and suggest other system failure's with which I am less familiar.
Good luck.
