Default Need Help! Mustang wont start

Hey guys you have always provided me with an answer so help me out one more time. As I started my mustang up and drove down the street, it shut off so I tried to start it again... Nothing, It wants to crank over but it won't! But my (theft) light is flashing really fast! Any answer or help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Probably needs the chip key re-learned. No idea how to do it though. Sorry....not much help.

2 things usually cause this. Bad key, bad ring around the ignition switch. If you have a spare key try that first.

Its an 03, but yeah I got spark it just doesn't want to fire, I don't think the PATS system will let, because the theft light is on

Yep, if the theft light is on flashing fast the PATS is the culprit. I've even seen bad batteries cause the car to fault, but its very uncommon. Usually it's the key or ring like stated before.
