Car starts.. then dies unless you give it gas

[Guest Removed]

After it warms up a tad? or right from the start?

 

It's going to read high from the start only because I have to keep the foot on the pedal.

 

Should I try to replace the fuel filter? It almost seems that when it starts to die, it trys to "catch" itself and it ties but doesn't work.

 

get in turn it on, and plug into it and see what the iat reading is..it should be close to what it is outside(within 10 degrees)

Doh.. I thought you said IAC..

So after replacing the FPR, cleaning the TB, IAC, MAF, spark plugs, fuel filter it still doesn't stay running.

 

UNTIL I pulled one of the spare TB's I had from previous cars and such and just decided.. WTH, I'll replace the IAC. Did that, car fired right up and stayed running.

 

Go figure. I had the replacement part in my garage the entire time and didn't even think about replacing it. (just cleaning it)

 

Cars suck.

should have said that after you cleaned it and it went fine...but then it acted up again... i figured it was either dirty and going dead...glad you got it fixed tho..
