for the last couple of weeks my car wouldnt start and then last night it finally started but was rly hard to start and it wont stay running unless i keep givin it gas... if i let off gas it starts running rough and then stalls out and it wont crank back untill it cools off...if someone would give me sum advice it would be very helpful​

Click to expand...

did you mean start?? if so, the IAC (Idle Air control) valve may be dirty or bad.

Check your fuel filter. That might be the cause too.

i took my iac valve off and it was dirty on the inside so i cleaned it out... but i hooked it bak up and left it where i could see the inside and had some one turn it over and it only moves a little bit how far is it saposed to open up?? also i took my fuel filter off at the gas tank and cleaned it out i could blow threw it so im guess thats not it cause im sure the fuel pump has enough pressure to push and also what is DTC's thanks for all the help..
