need to find out if the coils are getting power to them. i would say the key may be wearing or ign switch but seems like the vats would show a security light so check the ignition switch. could be the bcm acting up.

I doubt the problem would be with the VATS, since his engine cranks. The security system disables the start function if it's not working correctly.
