You could have a bad Key.
There is an inbeded security device in each key which is sensed by the ignition switch. You can start the vehicle and it will run for about 1/2 second than die if you dont have the right key code or a damaged key. A new key will have to be reprogrammed into the system. This is a separate 'engine' code system not the door lock code system.
Having just the "key" portion of the key will not start the vehicle. You need the entire key assembly which includes the RFID system chip.
Try one of your spare keys.
Good Luck.
