06 Dodge Sprinter starts then dies

My van has not been started in about 3 months. When starting, the engine fires and reached 500 RPM, then dies. Repeating the procedure yields same results. Some advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Karl

Inspect your charge air tubes to make sure they are all in tact if so temporarily unplug the Mass Air Flow sensor and try starting it.If that is a sucess you could possily have an EGR not operating correctly.IF not then could possibly have fuel delivery issue thats needs further diag

Does your instrument cluster display "start error" from my experience when it just starts and dies it can be a drive authorization problem

Thanks for the tip. That did the trick. What steps would you take in further diagnosing the problem? Are there parts that need to be replaced?
Thanks,
