Does it do it with the AC turned off? Mileage and other maintenance history?

Routine maintenence . TB taken off and cleaned. new cam sensor. good fuel pressure. 110,000 miles. ran great.went out one morning and this happened.
it will start over and over again, just will not stay running. I can tach it up and everything. a/c not on.
also no idiot lights on.

How soon after you cleaned the TB did this start happening?

Does it have an aftermarket remote start?

When the key is turned to "ON", can you hear the fuel pump whine for a couple seconds?

When you turn the key back from "Start" to "ON", how long does the "Security" light remain illuminated?

Have you replaced or cleaned the contacts of the ignition switch? A very common culprit wth starting issues. Cleaning the contacts may not solve anything with this switch but worth a shot.

after trying to start it about 15 times in a row it finally stayed running. drove the crap out of it for about 100 miles. got home shut it off. tried to start it again and the same thing.
