Ignition locked up on me. Car sat for over a year. Finally got around to replacing the ignition switch, lock cylinder, the whole ignition set up is new. Paid locksmith to come out and program the key. Still won't start. Fuel pump isn't coming on. All fuses, relays etc, have been checked. All good. I don't know what the issue is but I'm so fed up I'm ready to either sell it or haul it to the scrapyard. I'd do not want to have to do that because I love the car and when the ignition locked up the car didn't even have a check engine light on. It was in perfect running condition. Please someone help!

When you turn the key on and try to crank the engine over does the security light flash? If so, this is the problem, I would call the locksmith out again because the programming was not done correctly. Also, let's run the codes to see if any are stored.

Will the engine run on starting fluid? If so, let's check for power at fuse for the fuel pump (f/pump) which is under the hood inside the fuse panel.

How does the engine sound when cranking over, can you upload a video so I can hear it? Let's check for spark and compression. here are two guides to help us see what's going on:
