does it start up every time then just die regardless of throttle position? oil pressure switch comes to mind. the crankshaft position sensor fails quite often on these cars too. you should check the fuel pressure if it drops off right before it dies you know somethings killing the pump circuit(oil pressure switch) if pressure stays up it's probably the crank sensor, ignition module, ecm or a bad connection to one of these components. is your tank full? there might be excessive vacuum in the tank try loosening the cap. does it suck in air? if so you probably have a problem with the evap system.
good luck
