Car starts runs 1 2 second dies starts again runs 1 2 seconds die

It takes about three times to start then the car runs fine. Just hard to get it running. it runs fine other than that. Fuel filter? Sensor? I just installed a nuetral safty switch but this was an issue before. Car has new battery so its just matter of keeping it running on the first crank!

    Ok I got the solution to this all of you that replace your neutral saftey switch. You disconnect the battery correct. Reclean the terminals car did not start on occasion no fuel pump sound and to starter turn over had the radio and lights worked. Just no enought volts and amps to run those. Hope this helps all of you out.

Starts and runs about three seconds then dies ignition must be shut off for car to restart then runs three seconds and dies again.

Sometimes this can be caused if you are not using a "chip key" if one is required by your car. If you had a copy of your key made and it was not programmed the car would disable itself after three seconds of attempting to drive the car without the proper key (antitheft feature). If that's the case a properly programmed key will automatically work and no reset is normally required.
In an extremely rare case a programmed chip key can fail and you will get the same symptoms.

Car died then restarted three times

Run a scan tool to determine problem, if nothing found take the car to the nearest acura service center to check for any recall onthe car.

6.5 tubbo diesel died and wont start back

Sounds like the fuel pump got air in the system. You may have to bleed out the air. Then it will run. Check the fuel tank for fuel first.
