There are three things needed to have an engine run, fuel, spark and compression. We can probably rule out compression which leaves spark and fuel. If you spray a bit of brake clean or some other combustible aerosol into the intake tract and it starts and runs for a moment then it is a fuel issue. I request you start with that and keep in touch, I will be here all day.
