This happened to me & the engine had an electrical short. Unless you are equipped to trace it, I suggest taking it a local auto repair for assistance.

Turn the ignition switch to "Off." Pull down on the top of the fuse panel lid beneath the steering column. Remove the fuse panel lid. Pull the fuse that is labeled "ECM" or "ECU." The inside of the fuse panel lid shows a chart indicating where each fuse is located. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse panel. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" without starting the engine. Leave there for five minutes. Turn the ignition switch off. Put the fuse back into its slot in the fuse panel. See if it starts.

I hope this answer is helpful for you.

thanks.
