I would replace the TPS sensor. If you have fuel pressure enough to start the car, then you probably have pressure always. Before turning the key to start, turn to ON. You should hear the fuel pump pressurizing the lines. Turn the car back off. Go under the hood and remove the cap to the Schrader Valve. Use a rag to catch any fuel when you depress the valve stem. If fuel comes out into your rag, you should have pressure. Try this a second time to be sure. I had this issue with my car shutting down. TPS sensor replacement fixed it. BUT...it could be vacuum lines, or another sensor fault. The TPS is a common issue. You may also want to clean your Mass Air Flow sensor with the proper solvent and technique.

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.

u have to diagnose it to know the fault .
WARNING the airbag system doesn't work when SRS illuminates

Hello! You're symptoms sound very much like a common problem associated with the fuel pump resistor. The GTP engine has a two speed fuel pump. There are two relays that control the fuel pump via the PCM module. The fuel pump relay and fuel pump hi-speed relay. Tied into the hi-speed relay is a fuel pump resistor that may go bad.
Symptoms vary but primarily the engine will start but die in a matter of seconds due to insufficient fuel pressure.
Here is a picture of the relay - which is located in the fuse box in the engine compartment:
What you can do to both diagnose this and either narrow it down to this or disqualify it as the culprit is remove relay #15, and bend out the tab labeled "85", and then reinstall the relay. If this does solve your problem, then you need to replace the Fuel Pump Resistor. Doing this will bypass the resistor, and place the fuel pump in "high" speed mode at all times. Once you have replaced the resistor, you need to bend the tab back to its normal position and replace the relay.
NOTE: while this may be a helpful diagnosis tool, and provide a temporary fix - doing this procedure for a prolonged period of time can lead to fuel pump failure. Use this at your own risk.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Not difficult to remove inner fender liner (screws around wheel well opening and sometimes a few more)
Pump is available from most auto supply stores and easily installed in tank. Check power at the motor before removing it to make sure the motor is bad and the problem isn't somewhere else.(if no power there problem can be solved as easily as using a push button to get it powered up and as complicated as replacing the multi-function switch...pretty much your choice)

I would start by replacing the Crank sensor and the cam sensor.
