If you havent already i would check all the engine and trans
ground wires. Make sure good metal to metal contact and
firm connection.

Yeah check your grounds and maybe the main relay. I had the same problem. Swapped a new main relay on and tightened a loose ground. Started right up!

No engine codes now. I have had the check engine light and ATTS light on before. I can't start the car, so I am not sure they are still on.

I will check the grounds. I did check the ground to the battery. I will check the other grounds on the engine.
