When I go to turn on the vehicle, it cranks just fine, and fires up. As soon as it fires up, it dies immediately. If I start it and hold the gas down, the vehicle stays on, as soon as I let off the gas, it dies immediately. This problem started all of a sudden. Was not an intermittent issue before today.
