My car will not start. It stalled out while driving, it had to be towed. I had to replace the battery with a new one because it was stolen while it was on the side of the road. The starter is engaging and the engine is spinning. I did a fuel pressure test and it came out to 50 psi. I believe it is the ignition system. Can you help me out determine what could be the problem?

When the engine is not starting do you not have fuel pressure or spark?
