Get the car to someone who has a code reader capable of reading the Theft system codes.

I have the same problem... the engine blew,, smoke everywhere...

the car then died.....would not start..

i replaced the engine with one from a junk yard.

when i tried to start the new engine it had no fuel coming out of injectors.. (no voltage to injectors.. good fuel pump..

i noticed the theft system light on before starting..

i tried several methods of reset... i tried turning it over for a second then back to on position for 10-15 minute.. no help

then per above i tried just going to the on position and letting it sit for 20 minutes.

the light never blinks,, it stays on all the time..

i would hate to have it towed and then have the dealership charge 115 for diagnostic and 100 to reset it with a tech-2..

is there a manual way to reset the System...

Thanks LOU

It has a good write up on the relearn procedures. You have to scroll down the option list until you get to Computer relearn procedures. This help me out lot when I replaced the ignition switch on my son's car.

For what it's worth
