Hello,

Ok, is engine light on? If so would help if could get codes read, but since won't stay running, unless you have a code reader, will be hard to do. So, try this. Locate the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and disconnect it, this will cause the computer to go into a default mood and engine should run, if part is bad. If does start and run fine, then replace the TPS.
