Hey all, hoping to shed some light on whats turned out to be a very annoying troubleshooting ride. My engine dies out roughly 10-20 seconds after start when rpms drop near idle speed. Ive tried IAC, Crank Sensor, and Fuel Pressure Regulator. Whats left? Ignition? PCV?

First I would do is pull the codes. That will tell us where to begin. What year is the car? Have you checked the tps and done a base idle reset? Was it running OK before?
