Answer
Hey Jerry:

You have an issue with the pass key system on this car. it is the factory anti-theft system. It will not allow the car to crank and the module that controls it also isn't send ing a valid signal to the ecm to keep the injectors running. More than likely the wires to the ingition lock cylinder are broken orr inside the ignition column. you will have to takee the tope of the column apart to get the the ignition lock cylindr at you will see them broken they are 2 very samll gauge wires "white" they usually frey/break about an 1" away from the cylinder. This is a dealer only part and you will have to get new ignition keys to match the :pellet" code that you have in your existing key now and have the new keys cut to the code of the new lock cylinder. Good luck :)
