Hi,

They have been known to set that message when there is an issue with the fuel pump module. I need you to try something and let me know the results.

First, see if it will start if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we have a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check for spark at the spark plugs.

Here is a link that explains how:

Let me know what you find.
