Your 2000 Toyota Celica starts to idle then cuts off completely and wont stay running unless you give it gas Any suggestions?

you may look into what is called a throttle position sensor. it basically monitors the position of the throttle and tells the fuel injection what to do. if it goes bad, the car will stall and won't run unless you give it more gas to keep the rpm's up. the throttle position sensor is typically located on the side of the throttle body, right near where the air intake hose joins the engine. they are relatively inexpensive , available at any car parts store and easy to replace.
