could be your fuel pump is bad if it starts and then dies after a few seconds.

happened to me,trans(700r4)gave up at 100 mph on the freeway(if it's so free,why are there speed limits?).
try it in all gears,if it runs and revs in park,you killed the tranny,if if doesn't,could bethe torque converter.i'm bettin on the tranny though.low or 2nd might get you home.

I always thought freeway meant "free of privately owned properties" so they could enforce that you only get on and off by exit ramps, no traffic lights or driveways or crossroads to watch out for.

Does the car alwys start right back up?
