Sounds like a security problem. I had my mechanic by pass mine as it was cheaper that way. No problem now.

Dose the check engine come on with the key in the start position?

Take a close look at those two lights. If one is a "check engine" light the car should be scanned. Autozone, Advance, and Oreilys do it free.

Some cars have switches on brake pedal levers or clutch levers which must be coordinated or timed to INTERLOCK with the starter. Also gearshift must be aligned similarily, such that all switches must be lined up for starter to work.

If lower switches are knocked out of position by feet, then it can cause starting problems.

Check your Battery voltage. Some antitheft are very sensitive to low voltage and the immobilizer will kick in.

Is the key fob battery flat? If so fit new CR2032 and re-sync to car by pressing lock 4 times in succession

Here is an idea. Check the connections between the battery and the car's ground and the starter. Then find the ground cable which connects the engine to the car and check the connections there as well. Often times odd ball electrical problems are caused by a faulty ground, especially when there is a starter issue. May help, costs nothing but a few moments of your time, and once in a dozen times it is the problem.

IF the solenoid which activates the starter is not working, you would not be able to get the car to start with jumper cables (bump ?)
So the problem could still be starter related.
There are a lot of questions on FixYa about 'theft/immobilisers' and not a lot of answers.
I hope yours is starter related.

Hi there am having same problem with my 2001, did you find anything out. also when I go up a hill it trys to sputter out on me, never on the flats tho.

sounds like battery is dead good luck

reverted back to factory code try internet for codes or get it unlocked from a car audio shop
