I washed the engine. A similar problem appeared as if the a bad fuel
pump. As with yours it would run for a moment then stop. If I kept
ether into the throttle body it would run. Turned out to be a short.
The boot of the oil pressure sensor plug wasn't fastening properly and
had gotten some contamination when I washed the engine. I flushed it
out with starting ether (drys better than alchol but is dangerous).
Problem went away.

Opps, sorry, not awake yet - this was my S-10 not my Altima that had
the short.
