Trouble Staying on

My camaro wont stay on when i start my it. I have to push on the car and rev it for a while and then after that the car is fine, just when i start it in the beginning it dosent on on without reving it. It never did this before, any ideas on what it could be?? help please i dont want to step on the gas every time i start my car. Thanks

Re: Trouble Staying on

You said that it never did this before. Did you change anything before it started doing this? Checking vacuum lines isnt a bad place to start.
