I've had my '03 for about 5 years now and it hasn't given me any problems till now. We are currently using it as a spare and gets driven maybe once a week. When I went to start the truck the other day, it started up fine, but after about 2 seconds, it shut right off. Every single time I try to restart it, it does the same exact thing. I was unable to read any codes from the truck. I've checked all fuses and everything appears fine. There is an aftermarket starter in it, not sure if that is causing any issues. I've also tried different sets of keys. I do believe at one point I saw the anti-theft light flashing rapidly, but it no longer is doing that. I've found a couple of things to try out, but wanted to run it past you guys to see if maybe someone has an idea. TIA.

Make sure all the intake piping is tight and on correctly. If it is check the TPS. The newer vehicles don't have an IAC.
