    i had this problem too do the relarn like dan says, and in the mean time if you have to drive it, just fether the throttle when it starts, i could keep mine running this way, the end result i just had a tuner take the security system out of the tune, and its been fine since. I think he told me it was probably the bcm.

    You can just turn the security stuff off with a tuner
