So, I drove the car and parked it about a week ago and then I try to start the car but the engine doesn't crank. Nothing happens when I turn the key. The battery is fine and all, so I think it has something to do with a Compustar 2W8000FMR but I can't figure it out.

Could be the immobilizer, starter or the clutch pedal sensor thing.

could be starter kill have you tried pressing unlock then try starting it?
you can also turn your key from the off position to the on positions 5 times within 7 sec
(off,on,off,on,off,on,off,on,off,on) and dont press the remote

When you turn the key, do you get power on the cluster? Cranks but no start? Wouldn't be the first time I have seen an ignitor go bad. Check your spark.

Check the starter fuse in the fuse box, and also check your wires leading to the starter. If that still doesn't make it go, pull the starter kill relay on your Compustar(if it was installed) and jumper the two terminals between the two yellow wires. (terminals 87a and 30 on the relay)

Basically connect the starter wires from the starter kill relay. Connect the yellow black and yellow wires together.
