Vehicle starts and runs for 1-2 minues then quits. It will start right up and then quit in 1 minute. Fuel is shutting off. When ready to quit can spray carb spray in vc hose and it will catch and continue to run then quit.
Hopefully clogged filters. Is the air filter secure? Really sounds like fuel isn't making it to the engine consistently. Possibly fuel pump, maybe regulator. Were there any warning signs prior to this happening?
Could be fuel filter or oil pressure safety, check oil level , then date of last fuel filter , it's a fishing expedition, esp. with computer controlled cars E.C.M. could be in question, need to go to auto zone for free computer check, if u can borrow a analyzer.
Also what no one is mentioning is to make sure you have oil pressure, or that the oil pressure sensor is working, alot of newer vehicles run the fuel pumps off of them oil pressure sensor so if your vehicle stops pumping oil and lubricating, it shuts the fuel pump off to protect itself from damage or further damage

First you need to verify, or have verified what is missing when it will not start, fuel or spark. Then you can eliminate 1/2 of the possible issues.

There's also a sensor on the intake. If that is unplugged or if there is a tear in the intake then the car will refuse to stay on

Hi!!
It seems that you fuel pump is giving up. Check fuel pump pressure (45psi cranking). Borrow a tester from AutoZone, Checkers or similar Auto Parts store.
Good luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.
