...gas will keep it running.? My car has been towed to the shop twice in the past 3 months! And each time a different problem was found, but the same thing would happen when i got it home. They replaced the timing belt and water pump (not part of the issue i think) and yesterday was the last time in the shop and they replaced my battery and spark plugs, along with a throttle body cleaning. Now its not in the morning or afternoon, just when it feels like it - it will start and idle low then eventually die. My electrical stuff will still work. Now if i start it and hold my foot on the gas and keep it at 2 or 3 rpms for a few seconds-minutes, most of the time it will stay on. This has become less effective lately. Now i will have to start it and it will idle below 1 and quickly put it into drive, after a few minutes of shaky driving it will run normal. Has anyone else had this problem? They mechanic thinks im crazy because of course when he has it my car will start right up! i am very frusterated and hope someone can please help.. thanks for your time ;)
 
It very well could be your fuel injectors. If you replace 1 you should replace them all, Not an inexpensive thing to do but take it and get a diagnosis from the machines at a local body shop, that will narrow your problem down. It usually costs about $25 for the diagnosis.
