    It might be a really weak fuel pump too or a bad pressure regulator....

    ? first start after 'cold soak' (sits overnight) ?
    ? hot soak (first restart after run to op temp and shut down) ?

    disconnect your battery for a couple of mins then reconnect and try starting it, i had an issue with a reliant at work a while back, o2 sensor was bad and leaned the car out so much that it would stall after a few seconds, by disconnecting the battery you reset any fuel trim data saved
