Have you tried removeing the module and t-harness (if using one) and trying to start the vehicle by key to see if it is an issue within the module/t-harness?

Also have you looked over fuses and wires in the vehicle to make sure you havent poped a fuse or pinched a wire?

 

After you have checked all of that out and if the vehicle still displays the same symptom i would take a look at this thread...This may have happened when you unplugged the transponder connector.

Yes, I disconnected the t harness and the key will start the car, but it shuts off after a few seconds.  Obviously, this only started after I INSTALLED the harness.

 

I have checked all fuses and harness

This was the fix. THanks. I was able to solder this back and reinstall.

 

Saved me several hundered dollars.
