car starts, runs for a second, then dies

can someone please help me figure out whats wrong? it ran fine yesterday... and now it is just starting, running for a second, then dies. i really need to figure this out because my car is a daily driver and i need it to get to work. PLEASE HELP. thanks. if it helps i installed a new maf the other day, but it has been working fine for the past few days. could it be that?
 


So you can't get it to run at all? Or just not at idle?



Fuel pump?
Fuel pump resistor?
 
figured it out, the maf reading on the new one i put in was ZERO on my car... i popped in the old one, and its running fine now... never buying any parts from autozone ever again. Gonna return the one i bought and just order one from gm...
 


gm is the way to go. all the parts i get from the dealer is high quality

yeah, but i was figuring in prices of stuff... and a zzp "high velocity" throttle body with all sensors only costs 200 bucks... i know they dont really do much performance wise until you are pretty modded but would i be better off getting this? just for the sake of having a new, somewhat better throttle body for less of a price then just the maf...
 
i dont know how much it is so i couldent say.

all i can say is everything i have gotten from gm is top notch. and not just factory replacements, but better makes of the orginals.
