Did you visually check for spark at the spark plugs, engine cranking? Did you use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, engine cranking? Also, check for fuel injector pulse.
Are there any applicable trouble codes?

I locked both keys in my trunck any idea how i can get them out ?
Is you car unlocked ... if it is you may be able to go through the back seat. If you remove the bottom part of the seat it should expose bolts to the back rest section of the seat. Once that is off there may be a divider of cardboard .... look for fasteners and remove that. Get your keys and put it all back together. Does the car have a trunk release in the glove compartment or other location? If the car is locked then you may have to call a locksmith.
What are the main pats
distributor cap, rotor button, spark plugs, spark plug wires, air filter, oil filter, oil change.also check drive belts and all fluid levels.
