i spray starting fluid and it runs then dies 

You have spark but no fuel delivery. You need to troubleshoot your fuel system. (Is your fuel filter clogged? Is the fuel pump running.) See the troubleshooting section of the FAQ. You can also find a free repair manual for your vehicle at charm.li.

Also, you left out a few details requested in the posting instructions.

just kidding. Check your fuel pump fuses and relays.

Did you check if there's still gas in the tank? It may sound like a dumb question, but it happens. I had a '99 Ranger whose gas guage was wonky. The low fuel light never came on and I ran out of gas at 302 miles since I filled it up last. 

I also have an old Pontiac Catalina. It had around an 1/8th of a tank left a few years ago. I was stopped at a red light with the car facing steeply downhill. The car died due to fuel starvation. A cop had to push me with his bull bar up into the gas station that was at the corner. I wss going to get gas at that station.
