Car will start but it shuts off right away, will not stay running

it could be lots of things. Sounds like the ideal speed control sensor. Take it to the parts store and have that codes check. You can start here.

is that the same as the Idle Air Control Value?

yes that's only a shot in the dark. You need to have the code read.

Here is a link to help you if you decide to check the codes yourself:

Thank you very much. after talking to you i also Googled it and it told me how to test the part you told me about. and i found that it was stuck open. pick the part up for $200.00 and put it on myself. now my car runs fine. once again thank you!
