Default Need a little help.

I have 2002 ft 38000 miles every once in a while car starts fine but won't stay running.If I keep giving it gas or restarted it a few times it works fine again.Just wondering if anyone has had this problem or has an answer for me. Thanks

Sounds fuel related. I'd start with a new fuel filter, clean the MAF and check for vacuum leaks.

Welcome to the forum.

I second what was said above, and add the throttle body as well.
