Start with one bottle of yellow HEET dry gas to rule out moisture in fuel tank. ============= Check your battery age tag. Most battery can last up to 48 months.

Engine on and all electrical off Next turn on ALL electrical items at the same time. high beams,radio,A/C,fan at full blast An IAC that can not raise the idle will cause the problem you are encountering.
