trouble starting car

I've been driving my sisters 2K the past few days and 2 out of 3 times the car dies right after starting (idle drops and car dies). Sometimes it won't stay on unless I give it gas to keep the idle up. Anyone else experience this or can suggest where to start looking for the problem.

thanks
