I'm confused.........if you hear it crank then whats the problem? Maybe you mean you hear it turn over but not crank. I guess. If the later is the case is it a slow or fast turn over?

check for codes. may be fuel pump, Throttle Position Sensor, or CrankShaft position Sensor. Try gasing her while starting.
