Default Starts up, shuts off

I just went out to go wash my car. When I started it up it shut right off. The engined turned and everything was good for about 2 seconds, then it just shuts off. I've never had this problem before, I'm just trying to figure out where to start.

Update: I got it to start, and stay started. I turned it on and left it on for like 15 seconds before I started it, and I pushed the gas in a bit before I started it. (Like a cold start, but it's not that cold here). However, not its idiling pretty high, like just over 2000rpm, any ideas?
