I have checked battery, oil, and the gas. I jump it to get it going, but then I have to keep my foot on the gas so that it doesn't stall again. Please help! Thnx.

i have the same problem and mine is a simple fix when i decide to do it, have new spark plug and spark plug wires put on there and it should stop doing that. maybe get a little tune up when u have that done too.

If your car doesn't idle, and you have to keep your foot on the gas, your idle air control valve(if it has one) may be stuck. If this is the case the valve can be cleaned. But I don't understand why you have to jump the car off if your battery is ok?

Chech to see if the alternator is charging your battery. Measure the voltage with it running, it should be around 14 volts.

Check the starting and charging system. reason being is because everytime your vehicle loses battery voltage the computor has to re-learn itself and they can and will run bad until it does

did you check the water in the battery? a dry one wont crank and will ruin the cells.. also you have clogged fuel lines and filters and prolly dirty carbuerator or injectors

probably needs a tune-up. See a mechanic.
