Put a battery jump box on the car,.... grab the keys,... turn the ignition on, engine off. Let the car sit with key on for TEN MINUTES or until security light goes out,... turn key off for roughly 5 seconds,.... turn key ON engine off, for ten minutes, or until security light goes out. Turn off key,..again, 5 seconds,... turn key on, engine off, one more time for ten or soo minutes... key off,.. wait 5 seconds,.. start the car.

The security light looks like a LOCK,... and your having a passlock theft problem. The vehicle is not sending a message to your fuel pump, allowing it to comeon and stay on.

Should solve your problem.

if your getting no oil pressure and the engine is running and not knocking or ticking. replaced your oil pressure sensor they are common for breaking because they are so brittle. it sits behind your intake manifold. they are like $10-15.
