Ok my car starts then dies, some electrical stuff works, some doesnt. We tested battery, fuses, fuel pump, and fuel pressure, all of of it tested ok. Could there be a wire touching something? I dont know im lost.

Welcome to the forum, do you think the theft system might be causing an issue? Passlock is an injector disable, it may start and then die. You need to check the codes.

? My database shows a security system? Is there a theft/security lite on your dash? Your owners manual may refer to it? Just to add, I did look up your owners manual, to look at dash emblems, it did show a security emblem. It should lite-up key on?

If the security lite is blinking, when it refuses to start, leave the key on, see if lite stops blinking? It may take ten minutes or so, if it stops, then try to start.
