I will try that and let u know someone said somethings about a security light what role would that have in not cranking? See also in october when we bought the car 3 wks after we got it I tried to take my kids to school and it wouldnt do anything at all it kept blowing a fuse they took it back and had it for 3 wks and couldnt figure out what it was til they found it was bare wire in the dash kept blowing the fuse and they fixed it. But know I dont know it trys to start but wont fire up.

Is engine cranking but not starting and security light on
it means that the computer does not recognize the key and shut the injectors off not allowing the engine to start
