Default z starts for a sec then shuts off

i tried searching but didnt find anything.

i tried starting the car this afternoon and it cranks over for a second then just shuts off. if i turn it over to just accessory the radio and AC come on fine so the battery is ok. any idea what this could be? i tried starting it a couple of times but same results.


edit: the car will stay on and run fine if i give it gas for a few minutes. but when i shut it off again and turn it on it'll shut off again unless i give it gas for a few seconds.

Does it ever start? is this just a random thing or does it never start?

Clean out your IAC, might have some buildup in it. Also check your idle adjustment screw.
