Starts then cuts out

So i picked up my new alero today. all was well until i washed it lmao.
i tried to start it an it started after turning over for a few seconds more then it should have just to die as soon as i let the key go. i got it going by starting it then reving it slightly. what could cause this? am i shorting somewere??

What exactly did you "wash" Sounds like you got some water somewhere important like the plugs, coil packs, alternator, but my first thought was the MAF

security light blinking???? if so leave you key ON position for 10 mins, take it out and try again.
