It may be as simple as a bad fuel filter. if the filter is plugged, you may get enough of fuel to idle car, But when giving it gas. there is not enough fuel reaching engine, to keep it running. Its worth a try! God-Bless!

SOURCE: Idle fluctuates

Its could be a few things. Most likely cause is you IAC (Idle air control valve) If this valve gets clogged up with carbon it will cause a idle surge on cold starts like you are describing.

Next your FITV (fast idle thermal valve). When the hot wax inside of this valve starts to wear it will cause a idle surge on cold starts.

SOURCE: 2001 Lincoln Navigator starts and dies

have the fuel pump checked , its sounds like a bad pump. you can check press at fuel rail with a gauge or find a shop with a scope they can check the pattern, and they can check volume as well. you can have presss but no volume. and if you are checking your self and want the easy way spray some starting fluid down the throttle body and see if it stays running while being sprayed remember keep the mass air hooked up , so spray and hook intake plastic tube back up.

SOURCE: rough idle, dies when trying to give it gas

it'll either be your ignition system (spark plugs, distributor cap, etc) or more likely your fuel system (most likely your fuel pump or your fuel filter)

SOURCE: 1997 jeep grand cherokee. low idle 500 rpm, runs

Most of the time an engine is supposed to idle at 5-600 RPM in Driveif it's not you can up the idle. But you also may have a vaccume leak.

Will not start up, nor will it idle. Must hit the gas for it to stay alive.

No sure why throttle body would keep a car from turning over. I have had a couple cars which ran ok at higher speed and wanted to die when I came to a stop. Spark plug wires and plugs worked for me. Sorry I cannot be of more help but that is all I got. Have you checked for any trouble code associated to the check engine light.

1998 k1500 5.7 vortex dies after it warms up suddenly

Holding the gas pedal to the floor stops fuel entering the injectors.
You would need to figure out if it is fuel or spark to proceed.

2003 Camry won't stay idling after I changed battery

This is extremely common :)

With time your throttle body gets gummed up with oily residue from the PCV system. As this happens, the computer adapts to the restriction it causes in the throttle body.
When you unhook the battery, these learned values are lost and the default settings for idle control are used. Unfortunately the default settings are no longer sufficient to keep the idle correct with it all gummed up.

Take your intake hoses off the throttle bodies and clean the insides (open the throttle plates for better access) with a rag and some brake parts cleaner or throttle plate cleaner, available from your local parts store.

Reassemble and start the car, your idle problems should be gone immediately.

Geo Metro 1994, diagnose no fuel presure problem.

Quite a few things can cause a car to die after idling for awhile, but if you have verified that the fuel pressure is actually dropping when the motor dies, the likely culprits are:
1) Electric fuel pump in the gas tank is bad
2) The fuel pressure regulator (on the throttle body) is bad
3) An electrical problem in the power to the fuel pump (like a bad fuel pump relay or lose ground wire to the relay's circuit)
