Just throwing an idea but check your fuse box. look in your manual and check the fuses that could have anything to do you starting system or those you think might be a problem. Haha i forgot to replace a fuse that had something to do with my fuel line and my engine wouldnt start. Just disconnect negative battery terminal if you decide to check them.

Did you short the terminals or just turn the key?

Why didn't you short the terminals? I am trying to help eliminate a PATS issue. If the PATS is shutting down the PCM the engine will crank but not start. If shorting the terminals does not engage the starter then there is a starter or wiring problem.

I highly doubt that 3 weeks is enough to plug all the injectors to a point where it wouldn't even cough.

Okay, you either have no spark or no fuel. Have you reset the fuel inertia switch? Have you checked for fuel pressure? Have you checked for spark? What does the THEFT light do when you turn the key on?
