    I started my truck the other day and it shut off when I threw it in reverse, before I started releasing the clutch.
    It then would just crank and not start until I removed the key and reinserted.
    The truck would die after about 5 seconds after starting and this happened about 8 times.
    No problems since...

    Any thoughts?

    Immobilizer disables the starter, not the fuel injectors.

    I have not.

    I was driving fast on rough dirt roads before I parked it though, but that has never been an issue.
