Car doesn't want to stay runnng, and when you start it it will not stay running if you take your foot off the gas. What would you suggest?

First of all go to Autozone (or wherever) and get the codes read.
Probably code po506 (idle control system low).
Probably a bad isc (idle speed control)motor or clogged port.
Located on back side of intake opposite intake hose.
Hope this helps.
