Car turns over well...tries to start...chugs along for a few seconds then dies. Restarting several times with random massaging of the throttle and the car eventually clears whats wrong and runs great. After it warms up(5 minutes)...it starts to sputter and then dies. Restart gets the car running great again for a while...but eventually dies again. After about 20 minutes it won't start again. Temperature was up to about 260 - enough to turn the fan on.

Here is what has been done: New plugs, cap, rotor. ICM tested good. Last item replaced before I got it was the MAP sensor. I've gone over all the vacuum hoses...replaced bad/cracked connections...capped one open end down by the battery(for the cruse control- which this car doesn't have). Fuel filter new. Fuel pump runs for 2 seconds when key turned to on. Have not been able to test fuel pressure...but sure runs good when its running.

Puts out error code 35 - IAC. Have one ordered. Old IAV was removed, cleaned and re-installed. Will check grounds next.

Would appreciate some ideas on what is causing the problem. Some have suggested injectors(leaking), coolant temperature sensor, MAP sensor. Thanks.
