Car Starts and then dies, what gives?

My car starts fine, but within the next 5 seconds, slowly dies. It happened completely out of the blue, it has been working fine until last night when that happened. Im thinking it could be the fuel pump or something.
Has this happened to anyone?

Need more info. Does the engine shake? Any wired noise?
Did you put fuel in?
