Default car ran great now wont crank...help

yesterday i drove the car to the gas station to get some gas. the car was running just beautiful like it always had and i cut it off put gas in it. when i go to start it up it doesnt start. the engine will turn over but no start. car is getting no spark at all and no injector pulse.

things i know:
-car is reading rpm
-62psi fuel pressure at start-up
-pulled plugs after cranking and no fuel on the plugs
-no spark on either bank
-pulled the pcm out from the passenger side corner and opened it up to check for moisture and it all looks fine.
-windshiels wipers acted up just recently and would turn on and off by themselves (go up from hideaway and come down) fixed by unplugging the washer fluid pump
-swapped out the ignition relay with fan#2 relay and still didnt crank
-threw a no communication with vcm code (U code)

any help or suggestions would be appreciated because its driving me nuts
thanks guys

Did you swap out the starter relay with a fan relay as well? I had to swap both the ignition and starter relays when I had a similar problem. Also try swapping the fuel pump relay with the A/C relay (I think that's the other one like it).

i got the car to run for about 3 seconds and shut off. it does that everytime i turn the key. its throwing a p01623 code for the anti-theft system. i think ima make a bypass box for it.

well i checked the resistance on the lock cylinder side of the harness and that resistance matches the keys resistance so the wires on the lock cylinder are still attached. when i turn the key to start there is no security light on and fires up then dies after 3 seconds
