Hi newb.. welcome..
Mechanical problems are best in the correct section.. but being in a bind..
Test fuel pump:
Turn key on, do you hear a noise from the fuel pump priming for about 203 seconds?
Test for injectors:
Take a 194 bulb (turn signal/side marker) and pull the tabs down so they stick out. Stuff that into an injector plug and have someone crank, you should see light. If not.. most likely the fuel injector fuse (passenger kickpanel) is bad.
Start there.. BTW, If you have spark, then your crank sensor is working.

Check your ground bus.
Here is the info on it...

Your power windows/locks and fuel pump are tied into the same grounding point. No ground, no workie.

Oh.. I remember I also know that in your spot, I'd be happy if the car worked, happier when the locks and windows work. but they aren't really needed to get from point A to B.
Run the tests I suggested and we'll know a lot more about what'* going on. Mike went and headed straight to the problem...lol Darn you Mike, I was saving that for tomorrow.
