On newer fuel injected cars when the Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor (M.A.P sensor) goes bad it will cause the car to fire up but then quickly stall. Unplug the MAP sensor and then try starting the car, if it will stay running with it unplugged it is the culprit (don't try and drive around with it unplugged though, it will run terrible and get horrible milage)

This is just one of many possible causes
