Check your fuel pressure at the manifold. If not OK, check the cut off switch in trunk. If OK, bad fuel pump if all fuses OK.

If fuel pressure OK, check all fuses. If all OK, crank sensor and cam sensor can prevent firing. Cam sensor is easiest to replace and by Murphy's law, it will be fine. R&R crank sensor.
 
Unplug and plug in the crank position sensor a few times, this is an easy fix. It does sound like a fuel related issue though, seeing how it started up fine, ran for a second (running on the fuel in the rails) and then dying (no more fuel).

A quick/easy check to see if your fuel pump is working: turn the key to the "start" position and listen for the fuel pump to buss/hiss for approximately 3 seconds. If you can't hear it from the driver seat, have someone turn the key on while you listen under the car in front of the rear wheels.
