Hi, I have an 06 Jetta tdi BRM engine automatic

Lately I have been having a starting issue
If I start it, it runs for 2 second and turns off.

If however, I apply the gas pedal it will rev up the idle normal without shutting off.

I have changed out my fuel filter.

Is this an indication that the fuel pump is going bad or dirty injectors or ?

It’s runs absolutely once it starts up

Then no, it doesn't sound like a bad pump or dirty injectors.
What I meant to say above is there are so many little things that could cause your symptoms, that having the car scanned for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) is really the best approach. Unless some recent work was done or some incident happened that we could link to the problem, you're really groping in the dark without a scan.
