SOURCE: My 2001 Tahoe will not stay running when I give it

I have a 2K1 Tahoe that was doing the same thing. It wouldn't idle properly and would die at stop lights. The check engine light would come on once in a while for a few seconds. I took it to a dealer and they removed and cleaned the soot like residue and other build up from the throttle body. That fixed the problem and I haven't had any problems since then. Hope this helps.

03 beetle 2.0 ran out of gas and car wont start and backfires

Possible that it has sucked water and sediment off bottom of tank causing a lean backfire no start. Have you tried spraying carb cleaner into the throttle body to see if it tries to run on that ? As Ray said it is possible timing jumped.

My 2001 dodge 2500 5.9 gas engine wont stay running you have to keep giving it throotle

Having to keep the throttle plat open could be 2 things (just to start). one, the air filter is clogged(like really dirty). The other is the idle air control motor is dirty or not working. Clean the throttle body and idle air control motor with brake clean. Use a toothbrush and clean inside as best as you can. It will take a second or two to start. Then spray the brake clean in the throttle at higher RPM's.
