Not really. Neither one of your fobs work?
Try removing the negative battery cable, then turn the ignition to the on position and re install the cable. Turn it to start and see if it starts.

You need to start at basics. Fuel pressure test, compression and spark. You need all three to run.
Is the check engine light on? If so, what are the codes?
