Default Car Wont Idle

Car will not idle, I changed the plugs and it idled for 15-20 seconds then it died. Then when you try to start it, it cranks and wont fire up, you have to give it a little gas.

Did you change the plugs to try and solve the problem, or did you change the plugs and now it doesn't idle after the change?

Check the brake booster hose or make sure the plastic from the throttle body to the maf is tight, change the Fuel filter...
