scan for codes and check fuel pressure first. you will probably have some oil in throttle body. nothing to worry about unless your oil level is low.

Try relearning the pass lock like i posted how to do see if it will start after doing that.You will need to get your codes read in the body control module which will take a advanced scan tool to do that.Not your average diyer scanner.
