Default S4 died, cranks but no start! HELP!

I am stuck and pretty frustrated.
The car died while being driven, just died. The starter cranks, but the engine doesn't start. I am a NOOB at this Audi (and this site) - owned it for a little over a year before this happened. The car is stock/unmodified, has 189k miles on it.

I have searched this site and others reading everything I could find that was related to the issue. I replaced the Fuel Pump Relay and the Crank Position Sensor, but no change. I get the fuel pump to kick on when I jump the pins in the relay socket, so the pump seems fine. So, what is left? Spark? I sprayed starting fluid into the intake, but that made no difference. I am out of ideas on this one! What would you suggest/do? Oh, I am currently looking for work, so money is a thing - so I just can't keep throwing parts at this car!

I checked the cam and it is spinning when the engine cranks (whew!), so it seems that the belt is still functional at the moment. That was good news, but leaves me with my original question of what it the issue? Below is the six fault codes that the Vag is showing on the engine scan. Does anything jump out, or any theories? Thanks folks for the help - I am at a loss here!.
Any help you guys can offer will be extremely appreciated! I really need to my car running! Thanks in advance.

I could only think fuel pump is shot. I know you said it ran when you jumped it, but maybe that's what made it go lean, then finally couldn't provide the pressure. Just a thought.
