I start my car and it runs for a little bit. Then it sputters then cuts off. To start it right back up you have to hold the has to the floor, unless u let's the car cool off it starts back up but cuts right back off after a few minutes again. The trouble codes a got were 22 and 24. But I don't know what to do to fix either code.

One code is for the coolant temp sensor, the other the air intake temp. Based on your description, it sounds like a bad coolant temp sensor. What sometimes happens is the sensor tells the computer it's extremely cold or hot outside. As a result, the computer tries to compensate by adding or taking away fuel to the engine. This then causes the engine to basically flood itself or not receive enough fuel to run.

If you know anyone who has a scanner that can watch how both sensors react, that would answer your question. My GUESS is the coolant temp sensor.
