I started my car after it had been sitting for 24 hours but when I take my foot off the gas pedal it dies. Today it was running for a few minutes with my foot off the pedal but it sounds like the car is going to die again. I also noticed the engine light came on.
On 9/25 I had my car serviced and they recommended a brake inspection next time as they found the brake fluid level to be low. Could this be causing my problem?

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.

Most likely the IAC valve is bad.
