Unhappy 99 Sunfire starts but shuts off after a second or two

My girlfriend just bought a 99 sunfire with 54,000 miles on it brought it home. Stopped and put gas in it parked it over night now won't run. It will start then shuts back off after 1 to 2 seconds. I noticed that when you turn the key to the run position that none of the gauges work and the digital odometer doesn't light up or show anything. I can hear the fuel pump turn on to pressurize the system. I also noticed that when you turn the key to the run the daytime running lights are not on either. I'm kinda in the dark here with this car since I've never owned one to know about this stuffed I just mentioned (DLR come on before or after the car is started and the gauges but I think they should work in the on/run key position regardless if engine is running or not.) She waited two and half weeks to get this car and now she upset and crying. If anyone could help shine some light on these problems would make us happy.
