Default Chevy Cavalier Will NOT START

I've been to hell and back with this car working on it. It's a Chevy Cavalier 2.2L Motor, Has no spark, and No fuel pump Neither are starting, Anti-theft Light is on, and Check Engine light Along with ETS light, Has little bit of Oil. Replaced Crank Shaft Sensor, Plug Wires, Ignition and Key Cyllinder.
This is my only car i'm 19 and need it for my kid and girlfriend. I cannot afford to take it to the shop. I am really in dire need of some assistance.

The security light on may be the issue...
I'd try the simplest first, try disconnecting the battery for about 10 min, hook it back up and give it a try...
What year model is it?

get the theft deterrant codes read and post the codes here along with the model year.

theft codes are stored in the bcm so you will need a full function scan tool.

what brand of scan tool. A code reader will not access body codes. If the theft deterrant light is on; you have theft codes set.
