How long before the car dies once you do get it started?
It could be a fueling issue but won't know unless there's more information to decipher.

Thank you Dave and JBO!

with my foot of the pedal, it just starts then dies .. just last seconds .. but as long as i have the throttle open .. the car stays on

Any check engine light that you may be having?
I had this same issue when my fuel pump went south so this could be your problem but again, not absolutely sure.
If there was a way for you to check your fuel pressure that'd be great.
Also see if you can hear your fuel pump turn on when you turn on the ignition key. It should stay on for about 5 - 10 seconds and shut its self off.
Hopefully someone will chime in that has a bit more experience with this and help.
