Okay, I just bought the car. I was driving the car and drove it about 4 hours, and I came to a stop sign and I pulled out onto the road and after I pulled out onto the road the car shut off. And now the car will not start it turns over but won't start I put a scanner on it, and it comes back error and when the car is off the anti-theft light flashes and when I turn the car to the on position the light comes on and stays lit and the car will not start if I try to start it.

It sounds like the IPDM has gone out, which is common in these cars. To be sure we can do a CAN scan which is easy. Check out this guide and you can get a CAN scanner for about $30.00 from Amazon. This video will show you how to use it, and I have left how to change out the IPDM in the instructions below:
