If the fuel pump has no pressure the engine will not start. This guide will show you how to check the pressure and you can rent a fuel gauge from the auto parts store for free or cheap and this guide will help you step by step.

Engine Running Fuel Pressure 210-310 kPa
Key On, Engine Off Fuel Pressure 240-310 kPa

This guide can help as well:

I have included how to change the fuel pump out in case you need it. You will need to drain the tank first, this video will help:

if the anti-theft on dash is flashing it will not start until the system is reset, I would disconnect the battery overnight to see if that fixes it. Let me know.

Yes, but got it to start by slowly turning key and then waiting for all lights to clear on dash then it was stopping from flashing.
But now it's done it again.

So, the light is not flashing? If so, the problem must be spark or fuel related, let's try to see if it will run on starting fluid and if not let's check the system for spark.
