First, get a code reader and see if that tells you what the problem is.  After that, it could be loads of causes ad you probably need to have it looked at by a mechanic who can check things like fuel pressure, and other stuff that requires special diagnostic equipment.

Thanks... No codes come up and I have an appointment with the shop next week...I'm just trying to get an idea of possibilities...Other than fuel pump, injectors, broken wire...

Is it not the immobilizer kicking in?

1300. Ecm not recv signal from ignitor.
If coils swapped and still 1300. Suggests wiring issue betwen coil and ecu.
Swapped plugs around? See if code moves?
