Default 1990 LS 400 no start

My car was parked and the engine was off. I was inside and unlocked the doors. I went to start the car and it wouldn't start. I thought I was out of gas, so we pushed the car to more level ground with the ignition on so I could steer. It still would not start. The battery got drained trying to start it, so we tried to jump it, and it still won't start. The remote key wouldn't unlock the doors so we replaced the battery, recharged the car battery, and still no start. The key will unlock the doors now. We've tried to marry the key with the car after we changed the key battery, and the car still won't start, but it will unlock the doors remotely. The engine turns over but won't fire.

Is the some kind of anti-theft that we activated by pushing the car, and how do we reset it?

Thanks!

Has your car had any symptoms lately? Any warning lights on the dash?
