Welcome

Does it have the SKIM security system?
(Thick key or thin key?)

If you can start it, will the engine stay running if you keep the throttle pedal pressed?
If it does the battery may be bad, and the battery should be load tested to check it's condition.

Also check those terminals! Make sure they are clean and that you have a solid connection that isn’t wiggling loose.

The slow up-ramp of voltage when charging a battery can make the PCM (computer) unhappy. It doesn't come out of reset cleanly when the voltage is hovering right at the reset threshold.

Disconnect the battery, wait a few minutes, and reconnect it. That will power up the PCM cleanly.

solved... the problem was another... base disconnected

TF is that?

I'm guessing it's the SKIM module.
