Why does my car die as soon as it starts?

What happens when a car starts and then dies?
You’ll hear the engine turning and everything will seem fine. However, there may come a point in time when your car will start but then die almost immediately afterward. This will aggravate you a lot because it will seem like your car should be working since you got it to start first.
How can I Rev my car when it idles?
Can you rev it by flipping the throttle plate by hand under the hood? If so, just check the throttle cable & its linkage. Check at the pedal and at the throttle body. If you’re thinking something like “what the heck is the throttle body?” then this might have been a bad idea. But everyone starts somewhere. Do you have a repair manual for the car?
