I had my engine cleaned now it will start but shuts off unless I stay on the accelerator to keep it idled up. What could this be?

JUST WILD GUESSING!

UNPLUG YOUR IAC A FEW TIMES, SEE IF THE CONNECTION IS GOOD

SOMETIMES THEY GET CARBON-ED UP, USUALLY YOU CAN TAKE IT OFF AND CLEAN IT. CLEANING MAY JUST HAVE BEEN A COINCIDENCE.

THIS THING CONTROLS AIR FLOW IN, TO MAKE THE ENGINE IDLE

I DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE, YOU MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT PROBLEM.

OTHER GUYS MAY JUMP IN AND HELP TOO!

LET ME KNOW YOUR OUTCOME.I LEARN TOO!
