We need more info... Is there a spark when the can will not start. is there fuel getting through or does it die slowly, or shut off immediately. if its immediate then suspect electrical problem, otherwise look to fueling. blocked filter etc ... tell us more. Cannot be anything too serious as it runs.....

Ricky,
The engine not firing can be caused by a variety of things.
1. The PATS system can shut down everything if it is faulty - have you looked at the PATS light on the dash for any flashing codes?
2. A faulty Fuel Pump relay can cause the injectors to shut down (it provides power to Fuse 37 which is the source for the Injectors)
3. It can of course be the Injection Module.
Hve you interrogated the PCM and collected any STAR error codes? This would show you where to start.
