I have a 2000 Monte Carlo with 140,000 miles and a 3800 engine. The car will start shortly and then die. It takes 2-3 starts before it will stay running. The only light that comes on is the battery light. It has also stalled a couple times when driving down the road. It also if left to idle for 2-5 minutes will rev and then sometimes stall. It has had it's regular maintanence. Since the check engine light doesn't come on there are no codes that register.

With the high miles, Iwould recommend cleaning the inside of the throttle body. You might also want to check your fuel pressure.
