Hi - I am Dave, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. It sounds like it could be a concern related to the anti-theft system - PATS - in the vehicle. I have seen it allow a car to start and stall if there is a key not properly programmed. However, it could also be a fuel, ignition spark or air concern causing this problem. Hands on testing is needed to find out what's going on. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link or call us at 877-913-1554.
