Hey guys, I've been having this problem for awhile now, but it hasn't been as bad as it has been. When I first started having this problem my car sounds like it is going to start, sounds like it does but then just dies. A couple tries later it works or if I feed it gas as i'm turning the key and this helps to turn it and keep it on. It then worked without problems for awhile then the same problem started again, but then this time it wouldn't stay on even with giving it gas, it would die immediately after I let go of the pedal. I took it in and they cleaned the body throttle and it has worked for a month w/o problems but now it's happening again. Any help would be appreciated.

Tapping on it worked! The car now starts and idles, albeit at a pretty low RPM. What are the next steps? Am I supposed to clean the IAC motor, and is that something I can do myself?

Yes clean it. To do this you will have to remove the throttle body 4 12 mm bolts. Flip it over and there will be 4 screws that might strip out. Remove them and flush the valve with a throttle body cleaner. Let me know how it works out
