Thanks for all the different answers guys! I'm glad that there are so many different things for me to try via the forum.
First, the locksmith is coming tomorrow. He is going to change out the ignition cylinder and program my 2 keys. We shall see where his troubleshooting leads. If anything, I have the informative guide that Vinnie_B left. Thanks bro!
To clarify what others have discussed, I can clearly hear the fuel pump prime. The car cranks, but won't turn over. I can get the car to briefly run using the clear flood method by flooring the gas while cranking. I can get the car to run for a few seconds at best this way. If the PATS was causing the problem, would it allow this to happen? Would the fuel pump even prime?
I have not yet checked for spark. The previous owner installed new coils and plugs. Is there an easy method to verify their operation?
I thought the cam or crank sensor could be the culprit, but according to BlackStan g00, the car will apparently still run with them being bad. I have no codes pertaining to either.
Anyhow, I'll post an update after the locksmith is done. Thanks all for everything so far. I really want her to run again. Sigh.
