88 Jetta. It fires right up. Then dies. It fires up I give it gas, it revs, I stop, it dies.?

Question:
I rear ended somebody yesterday, pretty hard, however my car ran fine afterwards. When I hit them, I pulled over, and turned the car off. Then I started it and went to work. Then after work it started fine and I got home. While at home I messed with the grill, headlight, bumber, battery placement, radiator placement to kinda get things looking okayl. Then I fired the car back up and it was fine. So I turned it off locked it up. Went inside, now for school today, I go to fire it up and it does then it turns off. It will fire every time. but then turn off. I dont get it. I am going to change the little fuel filter right now and see if it helps. I imagine the car is getting gas, because it responds to the pedal, but why wont it stay running? Any answers would be helpful. thanks.
