Is the security light flashing? Do you know if you have injector pulse? Have you actually put a guage on the car to check the fuel pressure? What's the pressure at when cranking?

if it were a anti-theft problem, the starter wouldnt turn. put a test light on an injector plug as you turn it over. assuming you already checked fuel pressure.

You may have fuel pressure, but that doesn't mean that the injectors are pulsing.

^^^^That, and you have to be sure that if the car is "getting" fuel that it's the correct amount, and at the proper pressure...

If you really had fuel/air/spark....you'd be on your way.
