Holla,

As the title says, my car is only running when I give it some acceleration. As soon as I start it, it runs for a second or 2 then dies. If I keep a slight amount of acceleration on it will run and drive provided I keep the accelerator on and even when moving if I let the accelerator off it’ll die straight away. I have know idea what it could be. Any suggestions?

TIA

Sounds like vacuum leak, is there any codes coming up, if so, that should indicate any faulty hardware.
