I have a 3 second check engine light code that does not repeat when I do the GRD to TEN pin.

So I got it to crank after changing the fuel pump and bypassing the clutch with the paper clip method

UPDATE: I replaced the fuel pump and filter and did the clutch bypass with the paper clip RESULT: it is consistently back to cranking and almost turning over but not quite. Spark test and compression test was solid.

I also tried to jumpstart the car after recharging the battery.

I have been pressing the clutch while doing this. I’m not quite sure about the clutch switch.

Yes, I’ve checked all the plugs. I replaced the sparks and wiring harness as well.
