Just so I understand what is happening is when you start the vehicle it revs up like normal but then just stalls out? So the RPM's go up and come right back down?

If this is the case I suspect we have an issue with the idle control. In your vehicle you have an electronic throttle body that operates the throttle control and if this is malfunctioning then the engine will start and then stall.

I attached the info about this system.

Let me know and we can go from there. Thanks
