Sometimes when I start the car it will not start. Or it will start then seconds later power off. After a while I have to keep trying or press the gas at the same time to get to stay on. Does anyone know the problem? What I need to do to get it fixed?

The battery level is now about 12-13.

I took it to the shop last week, but they couldnt see any problems with the car.

(I recently installed my own store bought radio and front door stereos.)

I had the same problem a few months back and it ended up being the turbo gasket was bad. It would stall alot in the morning and as I drove got better but would cut out when trying to get any power out of it
