I try and start the car and it wont turn over unless some gas is given which is not normal then once it starts it will not run if you take your foot off the gas. The only way it will stay running is if you keep the idel up by giving it gas. This happen once before a couple weeks ago and after restarting the car several times the probelm wnet away. it now continues. Can you advise where to satrt troubleshootin this?

Hi:
It sounds like a TPS or IAC problem, but that is a guess until you have the computer scanned. Take the car to a nationally recognized parts store and have them scan it for codes. Most stores will do it for free.

Let me know what you find, and we'll go from there.
