Well we found out that 2 circuits in the computer were burn, so we went ahead and bough a used one, and got it programmed by the seller with our VIN #. Now the car starts right up, but it will shut off regardless how much we accelerate.
We don't have a key fob, but we lock and unlock with the key without any success.
Any other ideas?
Much appreciated your help and replies. Thank you

It may be worth starting a new thread about this one as it is now a rather different issue. It may help to get more responces.

You need to know if your VIN has an immobilser fitted, in which case they need a key and ignition lock that are compatible

does the vehicle always stall after about 3 secs ?
