Car will start for about 2 seconds then shuts off and won't start.

This car does not have an inertia switch like a Ford vehicle, (Ford is the only vehicle that has one). Do you have a check engine light on? If so, this is where we need to begin.

If the engine stalls after starting it sounds like the bad MAF sensor or a weak crankshaft position sensor. Please go over this video to see what's going on:
