This sounds like a classic VATS issue... except for the fact (?) that the OP says it cranks.
measure the key pellet resistance, then pull the connector apart for the VATS under the dash Has two fine white wires in a orange/brown sheath, and with the key in the ignition, measure that same resistance at the connector. If the resistance is the same, then it's not a VATS issue. No resistance, there's your problem.
Repair involves either replacing the key tumbler, or bypassing the VATS with a resistor.
