Died on start up

[pepsi21463]

Did you check your sparkplugs, wires, coil pack all that ignition stuff? Could your fuel pump not be working properly?

My car was sitting in the garage for about 5 days, when i came back to start it up it cranked started for a split second and then died. I tried about 2-3 times more and then it finally started. Once it started, it ran fairly rough. It was not very cold outside either, about 40 degrees. Thank you for the input.

Is it still running?

So after your engine heats it runs fine? It may be the IAC motor. Other symtoms that may lead it to be the IAC motor is if you turn on other electrical components like the heat, or steering at low speeds. The motor is connected behind the throttle body, and is the second sensor down. I had this type of problem last week.

I havent looked at the ignition system yet. The car starts up just fine now, just seemed weird and i do not want it to get worse.

what does IAC stand for?

...The car starts up just fine now...

what does IAC stand for?

So it starts now, but idles roughly? Check for boost leaks.

IAC=Idle Air Controller
