If the starter spins the engine fine, and the engine fails to catch then the problem could be
1) Imoibilzer .. make sure no other keys are near the ignition.
2) standard air-fuel-spark-timing combination.
a) If you depress the gas pedal and the engine catches and dies as soon as you lift the foot off the gas-pedal. [Use search for IACV]

for 2 b) onwards, please post again.
