Need help with my car dies problem.

Sometimes when I start the car and it start right up but after few sec it dies. Then, I have to start it again with the push of the gas pedal and it works fine. Occasionally when I stop at the traffic light and shift it to neutral, the car dies. Do you all have any idea what might be causing the problem? Thank you all for ur kind advice

    try to first clean out he throttle body, build up can cause that problem. i have seen it happen to a jeep, it closed up the plate so it got no air. Or you can try a new iac ( idle air control )

    Maintenance is always first on the list. Otherwise you may be fighting a losing battle. Spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Check compression while you have the plugs out. Check the ignition timing. After all that is verified then you can move on to other possibilities.
