There are a few things you should check. Start with vacuum leaks. And Check your IAC and reset it. Start with the little things first.

Starts for 2 seconds and then dies, but will stay on with the throttle open... sounds like the car is sucking in air AFTER the MAF. Check for any misalignment/leaks after the MAF.
