Most probably a fault with one of the sensors. You need a diagnostic scan to check for trouble codes which could tell you which sensor is causing the problem.

I would first look around for any type of security indicator. The symptom could be an immobilizer not recognizing the key for some reason. If you eliminate that possibility, then you should do a fuel pressure test as it sounds like it is starving for fuel.
