So the car was running fine came home and car sat for an hour or so. Went to leave and it started but was idling really low then shut off after moving 5ft. Would not start again. Just cranks and wont start. Using Valet key and been using that for 2 years. Master key is lost in moving but still have the remote. Sounds like fuel pump is going when switch is on. checked EFI fuse and relay both good. Could it be the key or immobilizer? I disconnected the battery several times. It sat off for a few hours and I did the whole neg side off pumped the brakes and put it back on thing. Saw this online...lol. Still same issue. I have replaced battery, and alternator in the last year and had no issues with starting until now.

Any help is appreciated I really do not want to take it to the dealership. Towing alone will be $200+...Thanks

Disconnect the tps sensor and see if it starts (step one)

Check the AM2 fuse in the fuse box in front of the battery, if blown that will cause crank but no start.

A bad/disconnected crank sensor will also cause crank but no start.

Check the security led and see if it stops blinking as soon as u insert the key.

coachbc

i will check that thanks

coachbc

yes it stops blinking and turns off

Sprayed starter fluid in and it almost starts...so i am guessing no fuel...hope its not fuel pump. I cannot hear it running. Whats a better way to be sure?

Disconnect the fuel line at fuel rail and ck for flowage. Sounds fuel related if fires with ether or conversely a s stated before crank sensor. Might help to have a read with Techstream to expedite the troubleshooting.

Check your fuel pressure if it's low it could be your fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator

Also by the way when's the last time you've done your timing belt that could be it too
