ok...im driving on the highway and my car dies. I pull to the side of the road and the car wont start. theft light blinking in ON position...car turns but wont start. I also see the service engine and battery light on too. is that normal? everything else thats electrical seems to be working fine. another thing i noticed is that the odometer is showing ------- instead of numbers... i havent checked the fuses yet, but ill check all of um. could this be the result of some kind of short? is this a PATS issue? if it is, do I have to bring the car down to the dealer? BTW i dont have a spare key..bought the car second hand and never got a second key.
this is a PATS issue right?

Once the car has started the PATS system should not come into play until the next time you start your car. Sounds like a PCM or cluster issue.
Checking your fuses is a very good first step.

i just changed out the fuse and everything is hunky-dory. I think i know where a short might have come from...one of my wires going to the maf is rubbing on a sharp piece of metal.. when i looked at it.. the metal had cut through the plastic covering and was touching the wires inside. at least i think thats the problem.
as far as the pcm fuse...its fuse number 26. when you open the fuse box in the engine its the green fuse near the bottom left (if you are standing on the left side of the car facing the engine) it should be right above a yellow fuse. its the big fuses btw. refer to the manual
