When I crank her over, my car wants to run, but shuts off after a short period of time. Is this an ignition coil issue?

Hi Autodoc506, my name is Alex and I will be helping you.

There are a few things that could be causing a hard starting vehicle, but I would probably check my Idle Air Control valve(IAC). Here is a helpful link and some Troubleshooting guides. Let me know what you find out. Alex. https://www.2carpros.com/articles/engine-cranks-excessively-before-starting
