Can you be a little more specific on your symptoms? maybe we could help you out better. How long does it run, idle, can you drive it, power, sound, have you done any kind of testing yet? if so, what?

 

[franks90tsi]

well it runs for honestly like a 1min and then dies and it putters when it start i check the plugs and there good and i am gettin spark to all of them i cant drive it cuase it will just die

Does the idle waver around? What happens when you rev it to try to keep it from dying? Has it been sitting around for a while?

sound like you have a IAC problem.

Some people call it an IAC, some people call it an ISC (I call it an ISC, Idle Speed Controller). Here are some links on testing yours and see if your symptoms are in here.
Good luck
