Engine Mechanical problem

Hi, my vehicle is difficult to crank or turn over, once it starts, it dies. When I'm able to keep it running, it cut off when I put it in gear. By the way, it's fuel injection. A friend told me that it needs a "fuel injection tune-up".

Thanks,
Lamar

Give it a major tune-up/check the fuel pressure and test the idle air control valve and throttle position sensor-also inspect the EGR valve for carbon-
