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.

 

same thing happened to me. No codes nothing. Stealership replaced the MAF and IAC for some reason. Hope this helps

 

does it stall at stop lights? or does it run fine after the initial ten seconds?

 

The same thing used to happen to me until i replaced my IAC.

 

^^, which is usually accompanies by stalling when coming to a stop... but not always.

 

MAF for sure... 1-888-254-6060.. call DaveB for a great price and service

 

and if its not, send lontar the bill
