Hi! I am a newbie as well but hopefully I can put in some input.
The basis principle is that if you have fuel, spark, correct timing, the engine should run. Turn crankshaft bolt to bring cylinder 1 to TDC, check distributor position, ignition coil? Check the fuses, relay etc. and fuel pressure, if everything is right, it should start. In my opinion, it is somewhere in the distributor you should look. Please let us know if you have found a solution.

Does it have an alarm system?

Sorry I was thinking of 92-96 models since these models use distributors.

...i checked the timing...

Timing belt timing?... or??? I don't think ignition timing on your engine is adjustable, right?

no the car doesnt have a distributor. it has no spark i changed the coils and checked the timing aswell as the fuses and its getting fuel and has pressure in the fuel system and has compression
