RESPONSE<\/p>\n

Sounds like the IAC idle air control valve<\/a> may be sticking if you have to hold the gas pedal down to keep it running. May also have a loose connection of the air inlet hoses at the throttle body and or air filter. Any check engine light on, check the codes first. A weak battery will cause issues, if it is old have it load tested and replaced if needed.\u00a0 The throttle body should also be cleaned on the inside.<\/p>\n
