Hello,
 
  Not sure what you mean by will turn over but not crank.
  If it's not turning over fast enough it won't start even if you have good fuel supply.  If the battery is new, make sure the cables and connections are in good condition, and the ground connection on the engine is good.  The starter could also be weak.  After bleeding the filter and lines, You can also bleed the injection lines at the injectors to make sure there is good fuel supply there if you haven't already done so.
