Go through this "crank with no start" check list and post the results.

There's a TON of information in this check list. Pay attention to the details of what the various tests are trying to tell you. Bottom line is don't assume this is a PATS problem as there are several PCM power/ground issues that can CAUSE an apparent PATS issue.

First thing I would do is check the wires going to the anti-theft reader on the ignition. If you use the tilt function on your wheel a lot it can pull the wires out of the connector and cause the theft light and a No start condition.
