We need to know what is missing, Spark or Fuel? Does it have a factory anti-theft system?

Thanks for writing back, I checked fuses and battery, they are okay. I then pulled one plug wire from each of the three coils to check for spark. No spark from any of them. The car has a factory anti theft system. but none of the warning lights stay on longer than they usually do. I don`t think I hear the fuel pump when I turn on the power before starting, but I don`t recall ever hearing it before. Hope this helps.
Thanks
