Most likely a problem in the fuel line.... pump or filter... could be an air flow sensor, PCV, or EGR, as well.
Oh yeah, or it could be an idle sensor, or a problem with the choke.
because your an idiot
2003 dodge neon that will start but will not stay running and dies after it starts?
weak fuel pump.
A 1989 Chevy Cavalier will not stay running after it has started if the spark plugs are fouled, the fuel filter is dirty, or it has a vacuum leak. Taking the vehicle to a local mechanic or dealership can pinpoint the problem.
Dirty carburetor.
check for a vehicle theft system?? Is the Light Illuminated. does it stay on:::
What could be the problem when a 2002 Volvo won't stay stared
If it starts but doesn't stay running after you release the key from the start position, it means your ignition switch is bad. Not a huge expense.
Make Model and Year please.
My car starts and runs fine .Yours may need a fuel filter or pump.
sounds like a fuel problem change the fuel filter first
sounds like you forgot to put the correct shims in when starter was installed
