Default Sputters out

When I turn the key car turns on and then sputters out. The second or third time it always comes on fine, or if I hold the gas down and rev for a few seconds. How can I fix this? Also after I get it going it sounds like it wants to give out and shut off. Car drives fine, this is the only weird issue I have.

Check the sensors on the TB, possibly even clean the TB blade off.

A lot of times the IAC (idle-air control valve) is caked with carbon and preventing the car to idle properly.

The blade is the part that opens to let air in when you push the throttle down. Sometimes it gets stuck from the carbon build up.

There's a clean vs dirty look
