How did you "reset" the computer? If the anti-theft system is activated, the engine will run for about two seconds, then stall. Unlock either front door with the key to turn the security system off. If you can keep the engine running by holding the accelerator pedal down 1/4", there is a relearn procedure that must be done if the battery was recently disconnected.
