At start of the engine turns rise to 2000 then the engine stops. Thanks.

Sounds just like mine when the PATS kicked in.

If you're using the correct key, etc, then check for fuel starvation, etc

Check the fuel pump relay in the battery side fuse box.......had a similar problem once & it was a faulty relay :)

Also check that the small lead on the battery neg terminal is tightly secured....even if it's the slightest bit loose it can still cause alot of problems :)

Behind a final collector in the bottom part of the engine.
