Re: car starts but will not stay on.
replace the fuse under the hood it might be the ecu fuse
Turn the key to the "on" position and listen for a click coming from under the dash

Re: car starts but will not stay on.
fuel pump priming is not confirmed. sure somethign clicks two seconds after..but do you actually hear the fuel pump turn on then off?
starts then stall imediatly sounds like fuel issue. or alarm issue but i would suspect fuel first.

I think the ignition switch is bad (bad ON(II) position).
Here's how to test using a multimeter to measure continuity/resistance (Ohms) at the switch connector terminals:
