wow but naw man i used my master key..spares sits in my house. i'll pull the plugs and coils out today and see but thanks everyone for your input..
Roscoe---if any of the coil is bad, the engine will start but missing.
If no spark at all, yes could be your security key, crank sensor, cam sensor.
Do you have a CEL?
That's another thing you did not confirm to us.

so removed coils and there were no spark but injectors were good..might be spark plugs then?..
may have a bigger problem.
kind of sounds like your the immobilizer in your key has done its job, immobilized you. Lol
Or you just have a bigger problem causing your car to not spark.

theres fuel and of course car has spark or else it would not have turned over..engine cranks but will not start..
To start a car you need fuel (petrol pump working, injectors working), spark (power to coils, coils firing on time) and a working starter motor (to get the engine to turn over). Without fuel and spark the engine will happily spin on the starter motor until the battery is depleted.
My guess is that when you removed the e-manage you didn't correctly reconnect the ignition leads. Was it a plug and play harness? Did you remove the harness and plug the original loom back into the ECU?

Not true. If a car has no spark it will still turn over, just not start.
