I bought it from an auction according to the previous owner the car was fin he took it to the dealers to put a compressor and the car didn't start they gave him good money for the car and he bought a new one and was send to the auction and I got it I change the crank shaft position sensor and bought new battery and it crank but it dont start and looking around I have no spark in the spark plugs the securty light of the vehicle is always off some fuses were blown I replaced an not a mechanic I really dont know much any help will be great full I narrow it down to the ECU computer or the key programing.

Check the coil that is connected to the spark plugs. I had to replaced 2 of mine. If it is not the coil. Check the battery and alternator.

Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to the on position (but not start)?

It's either fuel or spark so if you hear the fuel pump prime I would look at your spark plugs. OP your security light is supposed to go off.
