Idle Air Control valve? If you give the car a bit of accelerator can you sustain the engine running? Once warmed up the engine will probably sustain itself needing no extra help. Once in this state if you turn the steering and the revs die to the point of engine stalls then this almost certainly time for a new IAC.

What does it means when the steering wheel locks up... And I cut the car off and it won'ts start back up & I even tried to jump the battery... Nothing would happen but the inside lights cut on that's it! I have a IS 250 2007
When it won't start you will need to check for spark and fuel pressure to figure out if you are dealing with the ignition system or fuel system. Is the check engine light on when the engine is running ?
These newer cars have a safety as part of the brake pedal system. Check along the brake pedal to see if the switch is misaligned or disconnected. This is to prevent someone from pressing the accelerator while taking the vehicle out park and causing an accident. Good luck
1. Check your battery to make sure it is not rusted, leaking, and has a charge 2. Jump start your battery with another car, even if you believe the battery is good, this often times will still start your car. 3. If your engine is cold, and you have an older car, ensure to get your fuel lines to the engine flushed or have fuel injection service performed 4. The engine tends to warp the same way wood does during the extreme cold, do not be afraid to continue trying to warm up the engine by constant cranks with it is cold out. Your not going to hurt the car, the worse that could happen is too much fuel will enter the carborator and cause flooding in the system to occur. Wait 20 minutes if this happens and start to crank again 5. Bad spark plugs are a major reason why many cars take a very long time to start 6. Please have your spark plugs removed and exchanged for new ones. Over time, spark plugs become fowled and prevent the car from starting even thou you hear cranking!!!

I ahve this same problem. My car also bogs down when going over 2500 RPMs at certain times. My car was diagnosed with needing a new ECM. I have not had this replaced as of yet.
