I started my car and it started right up but then turned off I started it up again but the only way it would start up again is if I used the gas pedal but once I took off my foot off it turned off then I tried to start it again and there was no power

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
