Engine wont stay running

[stangg01]

Engine wont stay running. It starts up immediately, but dies immediately unless I give it gas.

Any ideas?

Car has a sulfurish smell when I run the engine with my foot on the gas peddle to keep it from stalling.

I'm going to clean the IAC. Hopefully thats the problem.

My car was doing that last week a little bit then it ended up not even starting up at all. It ended up being my fuel pump which is pretty strange seeing as I only have 8400 miles on my car.

check all the hoses and electrical connections on the engine.

I replaced my fuel filter about 12,000 miles ago.
I agree it might be the problem though.
Thanks

I checked all the connections as methodically as I could. Nothing obvious.
Thanks

check all vaccum hoses for cuts/rips as well as tight connections. then go to the IAC valve. after that my next guess would have been fuel filter, but you just replaced it....

IAC was the culprit.

Thanks everyone!!!

IAC was the culprit.

Thanks everyone!!!

were you able to clean it out or did you just replace it?

LOL, yeah, I just replaced mine like 2 weeks ago and the one I took off looked brand new. There must be a flaw in the design or something cause it seems that alot of people on here have the same problem alot!
