Try swapping out the starter relay first. Coils are not part of the starter circuit so wouldn't prevent engine from cranking. Your problem sounds like it lies with the starter or ignition circuits.
Try shifting into neutral if it starts there the transmission range switch is probably bad, It could also be the ignition switch.
I swapped out the the starter relay and still nothing .i put it in neutral and again nothing it doesn't make any noise at all when i try to start it with the key and i just put in a brand new ignition switch, starter, starter solenoid, brand new battery, fuel position sensor, intake manifold gasket have been replaced as well
