I think you have a bad contact in key. Try pressing the unlock button on key while you are turning it to start the car.

That worked for a mechanic this afternoon.

Is the security light in the mode switch flashing when you try to start it?

You might want to read up on the ignition system. I’m assuming it’s a V6?

During cranking, the ignition module (which is under the coils) fully controls the ignition. Once the revs get over about 400 rpm or so, control of the ignition is handed over to the ECM. If it fires when cranking, and stalls soon after, it could be a ECM or security system issue as others have eluded to.

First thing I would be doing is ripping off the dash and making sure the connector is plugged into the mode button properly.
