Summary:
* When I start the car, it will run for about 2 seconds and then stall.
* If I remove a spark plug (the whole plug, not just the wire), the car will start and run (roughly, of course) until I shut it off.

Car is 2000 Elantra. The fuel filter under the hood is new, as are the spark plugs and wires. No diagnostic codes are shown. What is going on here?

I should say that the car had the problem before I replaced the plugs, wires, and fuel filter, which is why I replaced them. Immediately before the problem occurred, I drove it for 1000 feet, then it stalled, and from then on it had the problem.
