See if your customer has another key to try. I think it might be the security system keeping it from cranking. If not, it might be the ECM.

Thank man I will try that Monday i was thinking ecm myself due to the fact that when you turn the key on the mph reads 20 and when it trys to start it jumps up to 40mph and tach stays at 0. Hooked up scanner and it shows that it's got rpms when cranking but never shows on the cluster

Finally fixed it took me and 2 master techs to find it but it was something crazy customer never told us that someone was messing with the car for a miss concern. Found pick up magnet cracked and 2 and 4 plug wire swapped fixed those and it lived again.
