When I start the car it will starts for about 2 seconds and then cuts out, if I do this 2 or 3 more time eventually it will stay on, if I want it to stay on when I start it the 1st time I have to step on the gas and give it revs. But as I try to pull off in 1st gear it cuts out, to keep if from cutting out, I have to rev the engine and sometimes when driving it, I feel it loosing power. It was left parked in used for about 2 months or less, so I changed the battery and spark plugs but still the same. Thank you

If you can keep it running with higher revs, you may have either low fuel pressure or a faulty idle air control motor, check both these first.
