Is this vats? I was driving my car fine yesterday, and the security light came on momentarily. The car would not start (it would turn over, but would not start). The security light stayed on for a few seconds then turned off, and the check gauges light stayed on. I tried to start it again and nothing happened. I tried to start it today and it started up for about 5 seconds then shut off.

I think you have a couple things going on...when VATS completely fails the car won't crank at all until the light goes off. What gauge caused the check gauges light to stay on?

sounds like a fuel pump relay. if it was vats car will not start by key but u can use a jumper wire on the starter circuit and the car will run if the key is in the on position but the whole time your driving the security light will flash. when the cars not running all the lights are on
