Does it stay running if you step on the gas pedal? I'd assume a bad iac motor.

So it dies when you give it gas...check fuel pressure maybe the pump is taking a crap on ya.

Idk if a crank sensor would do that...I'd check what fuel pressure your getting and go from there.

also check to make sure its not a power issue. You may want to check the terminals on the battery or the alternator
