Default runs for a minute then dies

Okay, so it runs for a minute then dies. The ccrm was chattering so I replaced it, still the same. Noticed today when it started, that the theft light flashed once then six times, then died again. Need help here guys...

I wonder if its anything to do with your ignition/computer, just because you said something aout the theft light blinking 6 times and then shutting the car off.


while its on does it run ok or does it sound like its gasping for gas/air/anything?

Check the codes, if you don't have a tuner stop by prettty much any parts stores, I think most will check your codes free of charge.

if the Intake air control Valve ( iac ) is so dirty or clogged, its not gunna give the computer accurate readings causing it to stall.
