Astra won't start properly

I have a Astra 1.4 petrol. The car started but shut down after 2-3 seconds. The ignition module, throttle body and pedal have been replaced.

There are no codes stored (code reader used Autel MS409). I have been told it could be the cam position sensor or the crank sensor. Could you shed any light on my problem?

Well we suggest that the following be checked.
1. Immobolizer
2. The ECU ( engine control unit) basic setting
3. Air intake for leak etc
4. EVAP (Evaportaive emission) canister purge valve
5. MAP ( manifold absolute pressure) sensor
6. ECT ( engine collant temp) sensor
