I just had that problem. Starts for an instant and shuts off. Had to drive about 10 miles to home with my foot on the accelerator and my left foot used for the brake. It ran fine that way till home. When I stopped in the driveway it was just fine. May have been bad gas or something blocking the fuel flow. Running it at 60 miles per hour for ten miles cleaned it up.
