help help help.

My cars not starting right. In order to start my car i have to hold down the gas peddle for about 10 seconds after starting so it wont die. If i dont hold the gas the the car just sputtles and dies. This happens all the time not just when its cold or warm(engine). Please help . I have a 2k1 GLE

Any CELs? Have you had the codes pulled? Autozone does it for free. It might be the MAF.
