Question
Generally, my car has been running well.  But one day this week, when I started the ignition, it started and then it turned off.  I had to keep my foot on the accelerator for a while to get it going.  It did the same thing when I went home in the evening.  It did not do it the next day.

Answer
Check the fuel filter and if its been a while since you changed it,i would install a new one.Other reasons for stalling are,,,EGR valve,Vacuum leaks,Idle air control solenoid.A/C solenoid.Did the check engine light come on?If not and the car persists to stall it will eventually light up.These cars are pretty sensitive when it comes to the engine.Im thinking its fuel related so hope this helps.
