Stalling on start

[Jcinor]

I have the 2004 3.8 non-SC, lately when starting warm, the car truns over but dies right away, I have to press on the throtle a little to get it to keep running, I am thinkiing MAP needs to be cleaned?

I'd clean the MAF and TB. Not map.

Start with cleaning the TB and MAF with their specific cleaners

sounds like a fuel pressure regulator gone bad. if this is on cold starts good chance.

It's just the tb being gunked up. Clean that thing out really good.

Thank you all, cleaning the TB and the MAF worked great, how many miles can you get with the MAF, I am at 133k?

I've seen them at over 300K and I've seen them fail early on. Go with it, until it says to replace it.
