Default 2009 Accord starts but doesn't stay running

2009 Accord 2.4L starts but then turns off by itself with ignition on. Sounds like no fuel, but it will start again and stop running again. Sometimes I can get it to run for a second with gas. No codes. I checked for vacuum leaks, bad connections, battery, etc. Would a worn key cause it to start but not keep running?

A worn key wouldn't cause this. A worn key would not turn on the location switch.

Does the car always shut off quickly? Or does it randomly shut off while driving?
