Have the ignition control module checked at an auto parts store.
A crank sensor also would prevent it from starting.

The control mod is good is there a test I can do to ck crank sensor I worked on fords for 20 years I don't have a good scanner to ck it that way is there a pinpoint test to ck it
They say it is like a magnet. I think you take it out and just run power threw it and check it against something metal. If the control module is good more than likely the coil pack is good too. Not much to these, is it a 2.2L?

Yes it's a 2.2 I'm getting spark at all cylinders can the crank sensor be bad if I'm getting spark
I don't think so. You have spark. Something else. What was the MAP sensor code?
What was the fuel pressure?

I had a pending po107 41 psi on the fuel pressure

I cked power to map I have 5 volts cked sensor with vacuum and voltage changes I'm running out of things to ck the only thing I havnt cked is compression
Your killing me hear. Fuel pressure should be 40 to 47 lbs. and I don't see either that the po107 is causing this also. AND you have spark. Well, it wouldn't have anything to do with the anti theft system you think? May want to try and go threw a reset procedure. One problem with that is I am not too sure on what that is. I just know about it. I do have a GM procedure, not sure if it works on that car.
Thinking about the anti theft, when that kicks in it usually shuts down the fuel injectors, and you said there is a pulse there.
