Likely a fuel delivery problem.

Check the filter, as it may be clogged and due for replacement. To test for fuel delivery, open your airbox and spray some starter fluid (purified ether, usually) down into the throttle body while someone else cranks the engine. If it fires up and runs for a few seconds but won't run without spraying the starter fluid, then you know you've got spark and compression. If that's the case, there could be any number of potential issues: throttle position sensor (not very common, but it does happen), fuel injectors clogged (common if you use low-grade fuel), fuel filter/strainer clogged (filters should be replaced every 30k miles or so, on average), fuel pump failure (you should hear a buzzing from the fuel pump when you crank the engine).

If the starter fluid doesn't help, then the problem is no spark. Check each plug/cable for fouling.

There is no inertia switch. The ECU (Engine control module) activates the fuel pump. See attached from service manual.

most probably the fuel pump is not working. first check its relay then the pump itself.

check for fuel pump relay not working

Definitely not a knock sensor.

Just to clarify, you spray starting fluid in the intake and it will start and run for a short time and then stall?

I would check your fuel supply. You may have a clogged fuel filter not allowing fuel up to the throttle body. It is best to check before the filter. Be careful that the pressure built up does not spray all over. If there is no pressure and when you turn the key on nothing you have a bad fuel pump. If there is pressure you probably have a bad fuel filter or a bad fuel regulator. Wish you luck!!

Will have to test fuel pressure when its not running. Or go buy brake cleaner, Spray some in the thtottle while cranking. If it starts or tries to start while you spray then you know its a pump

did you check you fuel filter and your fuel pump? i had the same problem and once i replaced the fuel filter its been fine since
