CAR KEEPS DYING

[ritter5.0]

MY CAR KEEPS DYING WHEN I START IT UP. IT WILL RUN FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN DIE. THE BATTERY GAUGE ON THE DASH IS NORMAL AND THEN DROPS AND THE CAR SPUTTERS AND DIES. BUT WHEN I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THE CAR GETS WARM IT STARTS AND RUNS FINE. I JUST PUT A BRAND NEW OPTIMA BATTERY IN THE CAR. I WAS THINKING MAYBE A TIMING PROB. ALSO WHEN I GET ON IT A LITTLE AND SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND THE COOLANT, OIL, AND GAS LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASH AND THE CAR SEEMS A LITTLE SLUGGISH I AM STUMPED. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Pull codes.

Check timing since you don't sound sure of where it is.

If you have a spare IAC, swap it on and see how the car does. You can try to clean your existing one but cleaning them can cause them to fail.

Good luck.
