    without inspection its hard to say whats wrong, start with the simple stuff like relays, fuses and wireing connections.

    Pull the plug off the maf sensor and see if the black and yellow wire is live with the ignition switched on , if not and you feel brave enough , put 12v down that line , if the car starts it's likely the ignition relay.

    was the car running before you lost your keys ? if it was the new keys have probably not been programmed correctly galaxys are hard to programme even with dedicated key prog equipment try a local locksmith that programmes transpomder keys or take it to a dealer.colin
