From what I have always read and heard, the security will not prevent the car from starting. It only prevents it from running for a period of time.
Not only that, but I also think it shuts fuel off, no spark.
If you are 100% sure that is the issue, the easiest way to get around it is to get a tuner and turn the PATS off. Thats what I did.

You'll have to have the PATS turned off with a tuner. Or worse case scenario, you can get a Directed Electronics Bypass module but it will need to be programed as well and they fail quite often. My advice is to find a tuner that can turn it off.
