scan for codes even if the light ain't on and get the definitions , could be the ECM , (brain) are the injectors firing ?

Right. If the security system is activated, it shuts down the fuel injectors. The security system would need to be re-set.

Try spraying some starting fluid into the air intake to see if it would fire off. If it does the the security system has the fuel injectors shut down.
