I have a 2013 Abarth that died on me today. From the beginning, it died on me a few weeks ago but I let it sit for a minute and it started right back up. Today, it died on me going 55 on the interstate and would not start again. It tries, the starter does its thing and the battery is 100%. The dash lights flicker on, as well as the boost gauge but thats about it. This car is tuned so if it's something that will throw a code, I have no way of scanning it as the tune done by the previous owner deleted some codes. I thought maybe the VVT actuator/solenoid, crankshaft sensor, or oil level sensor? Please ask questions as I'm not the best with my words. Thank you all

Hello,

How's the engine cranking? Like it would lack energy, or usual, as when it starts without any issues?

I'd however try to read the errors with MultiEcuScan.
It's cranking like usual but it's acting like it doesn't have compression. The boost gauge doesn't register vacuum when cranking, it just stays at 0. Usually it bounces up and settles to 10? I went through and actuator all 4 vva actuators and they all actuated and clicked. Still won't fire up
 
Also, had someone press check valve in multi air brick and cranked and shot oil 3 feet, so has oil pressure to multi air unit
