when starting the car it wont tick over the engine just cuts out, when staring the car and i put rev's on emmediatley it will stay started but then as soon as i take my foot off the accelarator the engine will cut out. for the engine to start ticking over i have to start the car then emmediatley rev it up constantly for around 15 minutes for the engine to tick over without help. please advise on possible problem.

Thank you

Clean out the idle air control valve and see what happens
