Default Car just shuts off??

My car drives fine, it idles really low at the beginning though. When I let off the gas, the car shuts off. If I turn the key with the gas pressed down, it starts right back up. Even if I am going like 20mph, and just let off the gas, it shuts off. Any suggestions?

Check your Idle air control valve. Its on the back of the throttle body. This is what is supposed to control your idle...
Is your CEL on?

+1 I was going to recommend that his IACV aswell, seems like it is the only problem.. Just take it off and shake to listen and hear if the valve inside is loose. If not than thats your problem, because if it was too loose than it would be the problem but you'd be idling high, but it's the opposite so i'm guessing that your IACV is clogged and it'll be cheaper than you having an accident.
