    see if theres fuel pressure in the fuel rail, theres a black cap on the rail take it off and push the valve in, if its got fuel it will spray out, watch your eyes, use a rag to cover the valve.

    it could be a bad crank sensor, has it been stalling randomly for no reason in the past?

    There may be some fuel squirting out at the schrader valve, but that doesn't mean there's enough pressure present to start the car. The only way to really know is to put a pressure gauge on it, and see how much it's putting out. I'd start with that.

    probably the rack leaking and not motor oil.
