Starts then dies

[darrinswait]

2000 I30- When I go to start it, it fires right up, but then it dies. I have to step on the gas pedal to make it keep running, but after about 2-3 seconds, it's fine. I'm guessing this is an adjustment on a throttle position sensor, but where is the adjustment at? I just bought the car about a month ago and am still learning about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had same problem on same car. I expected the problem to be the Idle Air Control valve. It turned out to be a gunky throttle body. Cleaned and now runs as expected.
