Default 98 Audi A8 Quattro

The car isn't getting power. I have put more money and time into the dar than driving the car. I have changed the fuel pump, fuel pump wire harness, starter, fuel pump relay, tune up, and still nothing. Also changed the crankshaft sensor. Car was working for an hour until the tow truck came to get it because I had to send it back to the transmission shop. (Had to get it rebuilt). when the driver loaded the car it on the flatbed the car was still running. When it got to the shop it hasnt ran since. It will crank just wont turn over. Please help. Frustrated and broke

You mean it will crank AND turn over but will not fire?

Did you try pulling codes? That should tell you quite a bit.

How full is the fuel tank? Who replaced the fuel pump and what did they do? So easy to get wrong it isn't funny...
...And what happened during the "tune up" - you don't "tune up" fuel injected cars, they constantly tune themselves...

After checking for fault codes: As a 'diagnostic test', chuck a litre/quart of fuel down the fuel filler and see if it will start then. If it does and the tank is less than half full, your pump isn't mounted right.
