The security system will cut off the fuel @ 2mph, maybe that's your problem-have another key to try? Is the security light on???

It's your key. If you have another key try it. The resistor on your key is probley going. You can have a tuner disable that feature.

Dealer won't disable it. Do a search some people have had success with cleaning. Do a search. A tuner with Hp tuners can disable. I have mine disabled.
