Are you saying it cranks good but won't start, or it won't even crank? Cranking is starter action.

Just to add, it could be your security system? Any applicable trouble codes?

No codes that I know of. Is it possible it could be a fuse? The ignition coil, module and fuel pump was replaced. T

The purple wire at the starter solenoid should be hot with the key in the crank position. If it isn't, one possibility is the neutral switch or the theft system. I can only suggest what to test, you have to do the testing. Make sure tranny is in park or neutral and the e-brake is set, for testing.
