Dealers charge about 50 to 70 bucks for a scan and auto zone scans for free.You cant get the car there so you may have to offer the local scan man 20 bucks to stop on way by and scan. Sounds like might be a fuel pump. First though check all the fuses.

Well that's only going to work if it has a SES light...It kinda does sound like the passlock 2 system but there are other things that can make it do that...When I used to install remote starts it would do that if it wasn't getting the code from the key but that was when the key wasn't in the ignition...You may try another key if you have it...I don't know the likelyhood of the sender in the key being bad but it's worth a try

I had it towed home...can't make it to autozone...too far
I thought it was the pass lock 2 system too. I unhooked the battery for the time being and will hoot it back up later tonight and see if it does anything...if that doesn't work I will run a fuel pressure test on it tomorrow night. Hope fully resetting the PCM helps...if not I have a feeling it may be the fuel pump.
Also, I don't see any fuses for the alarm/security system....

I hear the fuel pump...i can hear it run for a second even after it shuts off.
I've chamnged fuel pumps before they suck...well I am going to go reconnect the battery and see what happens wish me luck

Hold up...Are you sure that the fuel sender didn't go out and you're just out of gas or something?? That sounds awful familar...Or maybe your fuel filter is clogged....Those would be two good places to look...You know that it's getting spark and a little fuel though...Damn, this is a tough one

really sounds like VATS to me... but fuel pump is possible (though if it's consistent in how long it runs before dying it'd make me question that)
I don't have a 2000 V6 license or else I'd disable it for ya
I would try cleaning the resistor on the key real well... I'm not sure how the security system reacts on the GPs ... Is there anything weird in the DIC? (any unusual warnings?)
Oh! Something I just thought of that it may be
there's a common problem on pre 04 GPs ... something about the fuel pump resistor

Casper electronics actually makes a kit to do this resistor bypass thing
