05 Mailbu shuts down after 3-5 seconds after starting

Tune up,wires,coils,fuel and air filters,dirty throttle body.

get a second opinion-dealers are out to screw people-they call it sales- talk to people you know and find a private mechanic that has a good reputation. cheers Denny

You need the fuel pressure check out, running rough especially when you part throttle the accelerator,

Sounds like you need a new key to me. When they start and die like that, the security system is not seeing a good key. This has to be done at a Dodge or Chrysler dealership. They can cut a new key and fob combo their as well as program them with their scan tool. It will cost about $200.00 to do this. The two cranks to start is a weak fuel pressure regulator. Probably located on the the fuel pump. May be serviced seperate now from the fuel pump assembly. Ask the dealer they will know.

There is a fuse for ther injectors. There should be a constant power to the injectors. the computer is what grounds them out. So it's not the computer. Also check the asd relay. Auto shut down.

Sounds like your security system is shutting the car down. You should be able to leave the key on for 15 minutes and it will reset itself. Make sure you are using factory keys, and they are in good condition.

Had the same problem drove me nuts until I tried disconnecting Mass Air Flow Sensor, the car should drive normally but with a "Service Engine Soon Light" on. Mass air flow can run from $140 up, picked one up at recycler for $40.

Worth a try.

Checking your fuel pressure would be a starting point.
