Hi,

Most commonly, that is the result of a faulty crankshaft position sensor. When you crank the engine, watch the tachometer to see if it moves slightly. If it doesn't replace the crank sensor.

Also, if you have a live data scan tool, you can check for an RPM signal when cranking.

Take a look through this link and let me know if things mirror what you have experienced:

Let me know.

Take care,
