Default car wont work right

Tonight my mom took my car to get gas and to the bookstore. At the gas station after fueling it wouldnt start. I told her about how to give it some gas and keep the rpms up by power braking. for some reason there is ABSOLUTELY no pattern other than every so often that it will do this-- it will run if you force it to, even idling low if yu allow it, but take your foot all the way off the gas and it dies. Fuel pressure is fine. checked with a guage. No codes, no clue. :confused: :(

Sounds like a loose connector to the IAC motor, or it got some debris in it that clogged it's air passage.

I dont know, but i dont think its the IAC. Though i dont know what else it could be. BTW, the motor is in the Throttle Body. You might want a shop manual before you go into it.
