When I turn the key to crank it, if you press the gas a lilltle it will start for about 3 seconds, but when you let your foot the gas the motor turns off, what do you think it is?

Check the Throttle Position Sensor and the crankshaft position and the camshaft position sensors

Hello
Thanks for the donation.

Sounds like you have an issue with the fuel system. This could be a number of things so I suggest start troubleshooting with inspecting your air filter, vacuum hoses, and fuel filter. If any of these components are damaged/clogged it will restrict fuel and vacuum to engine causing engine to stall out. If all of these are OK, check fuel pressure at rail to ensure fuel pump is pumping proper PSI.

Post results and I will follow up.

Thanks for using 2CarPros. Com!
