A little more info?
A few to get the conversation going-After the first try, does this just repeat. Maint items up to date. CEL comes on for ~two sec then goes off and you can hear fuel pump prime. Spraying carb/starting fluid keeps it running. EDIT-One more. Holding the key "slightly forward", does the car stay running.

Does Check Engine Light and Alternator light come on when car stalls? If not, a keyswitch problem is likely.
Fuel presssure may be marginal and unable to sustain engine running. If fuel filter has never been replaced, you should do so. It's cheap and easy to get to. Mind the banjo bolt may be very tight and you'll need to restrain the filter body (wrench boss on body) to prevent twisting the filter body mount bracket off the firewall.
Finally, any history of tuneup; plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor. If not, these are typical sources of poor/no start problems. In your case these seem less likely, since it starts and dies.
good luck
