Exclamation 2004 Classic/ Malibu Issues

For the past week my car will start and then die a couple seconds later. Most times it starts fine and runs with no issues. When it starts and dies if I turn it back off and wait a couple minutes and try again it will start and run fine. It starts and dies mostly in the mornings when its been sitting all night and when i leave work. Any ideas on what it could be?

Do you have any OBD II codes at all. Could be lots of things, but likely ignition problem.
