Q: Wont stay running.
My car has a problem idling and moving. I cleaned the throttle body and bought a brand new IAC valve but it is still not running right. When I go to press the accelerator the whole car bogs down and stalls, the the check engine light comes on. I have cleaned all of the sensors in the throttle body and connecting pins. It is almost like when I give my car gas it is getting to much air and shutting the car down.
My car has 180000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
