Car fires like it is going to start and shuts off. It has fuel pressure and spark. What do I check next?

So, you are saying that it tries to start or that it starts and runs a couple seconds then shuts off? That sounds like the immobilizer is shutting it off. Have you tried another key? Does the security light come on?
