I bought a this car not running the battery was dead so I jumped it to start it but it wont run. It starts but imeadiatly stalls. Flucuating the throttle seems to make no difference. What are the most likely soulution.

Has the battery been replaced? Also, has the check engine light come on? Finally, my first guess is the idle air control valve or a vacuum leak, but without the check engine light, it becomes a guessing game.

Let me know.
