Is it trying to start but won't fire, or is the starter not functioning?

The car cranks have spark and fuel and wouldnt start but might be a coinsidence that my girlfriend then messed with some wires and it started? had no codes till one time it put up code 15? at that point the check engine light was on then i disconnected the battery to reset the code and it started but very rough and when i shut it off it wouldnt start again but there is no code again?

Code 15 is coolant temp sensor malfunction. I'd start looking at the coolant temp sensor and the wiring connected to it.

The sensor or wiring could be shorting out somewhere or the sensor may have been pooched.
