Car starts, idles, then dies

[sparco431]

Hey watsup guys

so as I go to turn my car on this morning it takes a little longer to crank over and for the engine to start. Well it started and everything was fine, I was waiting for the car to warm up when all of a sudden it died. I started it up again and it idled high at 2k and then gradually went down and died. I repeatedly tried to turn it on again but the same thing keeps on happening. And when I try to give it gas it dies right away. My only guess is that it's low on gas, I know the car is low and it is parked on a slope so do you think that it just doesn't have enough fuel to stay on?everything was fine when I was driving it last night. Let me know what you guys think, later on I'm going to go buy some gas and put it in and see if that helps

thanks

What was it? I would guess ISC or possible ECU board failure but its hard to diagnose based on what you descibed. What was it? Something stupid usually...

What is the ISC....sorry I dont mean to jack this thread but I am having this same problem with my car for the past 2 months now....sometimes when I start it it starts and sounds like its running on 1 or 2 cylinders and if you give gas it dies right away or it idles really rough and dies anyways. What I have figured out to work is if sometimes I turn on my headlights-HID bulbs if this makes any difference and the car fixes it self up and wakes up and than its good to go, and sometimes I have to reset my battery......really weird problem I have no idea what it is if anyone has had a similar problem I would appreciate any help thank you.

Nope wasn't the isc.........although I am suspecting that it's going bad. The problem was what I stated in my first post. The car was low on fuel and being parked on a slope and being so cold outeverything added up. I got some fuel in it and let it run for a while and everythings good now
