Weird Problem, help if ya can...

Hey my car started having this weird problem lately, and I'm not sure whats causing it. When I go to start it, it starts then automatically dies. It'll do this once or twice then it starts up and has a SES light, not sure what code. Anyone have any advice?

You'll need to pull a code from it, but the symptoms, sounds like a TPS of MAF sensor failure. And check for fuel pressure! Good luck.

Well, I know it's got fuel pressure. I'll have to go get it checked out at my friends house.

Possible suggestion: may be your IAC acting up. Take it out and clean it up. To reset the IAC after putting it back in: press the gas pedal slightly, then start your car and hold the pedal for about 5-10 sec. Shut the car off and wait about 30 sec. and then start up again.
