Try to hook up car stereo and unplugged battery. Then when I tried to start the car it turned over and and then shut off. Try to restart it again turned over and shut off. Been looking online for similar problems might be security or fuel injectors. Not quite sure.

Due to the fact that all you did was unhook the battery to do a sound system, I suspect you have a security issue now. We can try a number of things but let's start with just reviewing the attached documents. Does your theft light flash for 4 seconds and then stay on solid? If so, you will need to perform a relearn procedure. Before we do that, let's check for codes just to confirm this because if this is the issue then you should have codes to tell us what the issue is.
