It's a 4th gen, and I can't believe I didn't notice already. It's your main relay, it always is. Replace that and it will work fine, I guarantee it.

try this first or check your coil. internal coils are shit and go out by the slightest ESD. (by touching or what not) put a long screwdriver in one of the sockets hold the handle and put the metal part over a ground have someone crank see if you can see a spark. no spark coil. 5 bucks goes on relay or coil !
also you can just crank the car the way it is now while giving it some throttle, smell the exhaust it smells like straight gas = no spark
(easier tip)
