Default engine died, no start

went to pick up car at body shop. started and moved the car 50 ft and it just died. since it was low on fuel, put 5 gals in and tried to start up. cranked but no start. checked fuel pressure, 58psi.
spins over but again, no start. tried to jump start with clutch and still no start. have to go this afternoon to check codes, but thought I would put this up to get any ideas. Body shop stated that they never had any problems starting during the 5 months they had the car.

Need to TEST fuses/relays based on what you see/don't see with the codes. Let us know what/if any codes show up.

What code(s) did it show? If I recall there is not one directly tied/named to that.
