thats what i do, but when i start drivin it, ill come to a stop and it will still die..

it will start right back up, but i gotta keep feeding it gas...

i was thinkin it was idle air control valve, but as soon as i unplugged it, it died..so its not that.

any ideas???

It will die when the IACV is unplugged. Sounds like it's gunked up with carbon. Pull it off and check.

Ok, in order what to check.

Try to blow through the fuel filter, check to see if its plugged.

Check the fuel preasure at the fuel rail.

Check and test the IAC
This is on 94-98, but same on 2000
IAC testing

Check the TPS sensor.
Heres how TPS. Yours would be the same as the 97-98

You might want to check for a bad intake gasket. If it is leaking the cold morning air will make the car die.

You probably have a dirty IAT sensor, or its going bad. Clean it first.
