Engine problems
So upon starting my engine it will turn over many times then sound like it is starting. When I turn the key back to on, it will die. Then if I go to crank it again it will start, but putter and die if I do not hold my foot on the gas. After about 2-5 minutes of holding my foot on the gas I will take it off and it will idle fine. This has been happening for about 2 months now. I have checked the spark plugs and they are good as new. I sea foamed my engine twice to clean all the gunk out. And I have cleaned the throttle body. It has been happening worse the past couple of days which they have been 85-90 degrees. If anyone has had this probalem before it would save me a lot of money in troubleshooting the problem by process of elimination. So any help will be appreciated.
