Car starts then dies?

when I start my car it turns over, starts but then immediately dies. If I wait and then try again it eventually stays on. And it doesn't happen every time.

Check your fuel pressure if its within specs if okay-check and test the electronic air control valve and throttle angle sensor and coolant temperature sensor. Also run the codes here is how.

I would remove the distributor cap and look for rust colored dust this mean the distributor is bad and needs replacement.
