2000 Other Saturn Models 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 80.000 miles

The car starts and runs good when you first crank it, but when the motor warms up and you stop and turn the engine off it will crank but will not idle correctly or stay running. You have to hold the brake and gas pedal down to get it running, and then it runs good till you have to stop like at a stop sign and it will start the same thing again until you get it moving again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Has it ever been tuned up? Try cleaning the throttle bore around the throttle plate with carb cleaner and a rag. If it continues it could be the Idle Speed Control Motor. Is the check engine light on? If it is have it scanned at Autozone, they do it for free and get back to me with the code/codes
