There are so many possibilities here ---
1) Failing Fuel pump
1a) Restricted fuel filter
1b) Defective fuel pressure regulator
2) Security System engaged
2a) Wrong Key (without VATS Chip)
2b) Failing security module interface
3) Sensor input out of range
e.g. MAF or MAP, Coolant Temp, Cam or crank, ignition control module.
You have only offered cursory information here.
What year, engine. Does it do it all the time, or only when cold? Is the "Check Engine' light illuminated?
When it runs, does it run smoothly or is it rough?
please provide us with as much infor as you can. It eliminates the "Carnak" method of diagnostics!
Good Luck and Merry Christmas
