check to see if the security light is on or flashing.if it is you need to turn the key all the way on without cranking the engine and let it sit for approx 10 minuts the light will go off and you can start the car. this is a common problem and requires the ignition lock cylinder to be replaced.and these cars are notorious for faulty fuel pumps and electrical connectors to the pump.also your car does not have a choke.

This is dangerous, have a fire ext. nearby. Take air filter off the air duct and spray starting fluid into it as you are turning the engine over. If it keeps running, then you have a fuel delivery problem. It's either your fuel pump, fuel line, or fuel filter. Could also be a choke problem. How are your plugs?

try this first.
SECURITY RELEARN PROCEDURE
In the event that your vehicle fails to start after installing the DHP 1.0 PCM, you will need to perform the Security Relearn Procedure. This procedure allows the PCM to function properly in your vehicle. Follow the steps listed below completely.
Attempt to start the car by turning the key to the Start/Run Position.
Observe that the vehicle fails to start and that the security light is illuminated.
Release key to the 'ON/Accessory' Position. (DO NOT turn key to the 'off' position.)
Allow the vehicle to sit with the key in the 'ON/Accessory' Position for no less than 11 minutes.
Turn key to off position and allow the vehicle to remain in the 'OFF' position for no less than 30 seconds.
Repeat #1 - #5 for 3 cycles.
On 4th attempt, car should start.
NOTE : Since this is a fairly long procedure, I would limit all electrical sources, such as disconnecting headlights, to prevent discharge of battery.
NOTE 2 : It is SAFE to wait LONGER than the allotted time, but it is not safe to wait less time. I.e. 12 minutes instead of 11 minutes should be safe; however, waiting 10 minutes instead of 11 minutes is not safe.
Properly executed, this procedure should take approximately 35 minutes to complete.

check the connection to the battery. if its really coroded, pour coke on it and let it eat the bad stuff away. after about 20 mins, disconnect the terminals and wipe them off the best you can. if it's not that, it might be a bad altenator. you can buy one from auto zone but you'll have o take it to a mechanic to put it in. make sure you get the core back from the mechanic (the old one) because you can take it back to auto zone to get a partial refund

how are you, well to answer your question, you might want to check your fuses and get a tune up because evidently you are not getting enough fire power to get the car to spin over.
