PLEASE HELP(Mustang wont start )

Car: 2000 ford mustang gt

Hey everyone, Id like to thank you in advance for any advance you may have to offer. So for a few days my car has been hesitating when Id drive and when I slow to a really low speed(stop light/pulling into a parking space) my car should either hesitate, or completely die. However, this only happened twice, and I was able to turn it back on without any other problems. However, one day I got about a half mile from my house and the check engine light suddenly came on. A half mile after that immediately stopping at a stoplight, my car dies and would not start. It would crank, but it wouldn't start. So I had it towed back to my place, and its been there for about a month. I recently went back and my battery was completely dead. Went to auto zone to have it recharged but had to buy a new one because it wasn't putting out anything. I connected the new battery and realized that my theft light was constantly blinking, it wouldn't turn off. I then had the same problem, the car would crank but it wouldn't start.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be. I need it fixed asap because the apartments I lived at are ready to tow.

Theft light hmm, maybe your PATS? Check and see what code(s) your engine is throwing thats a start. Could be spark plugs, cops, tps etc.

Getting fuel? check your pump reset button to start its in the trunk. silly question do you have fuel? did you physically check? MAF could be filthy, AIC may be dirty, could be many things start with the simple and go from there.

DPFE,IAC, or any other 3 wire sensor on these can make the pats system act all goofy if i remember right.
