Default Need your input about a weird problem

I start my car up and it starts to shake, the engine sound really weak like it barely running and a few seconds later the engine turns off competely. I then turn the key in the ignition and the engine would runs a little stronger but still sound like it about to die out, but if i give it a little gas (still in neutral) then the engine wont turn off. If i immediately put it into gear and start driving then its fine. But if i turn on the car and chill for a bit then the engine would just turn off. You guys might know whats wrong?

sounds to me you have a problem relating fuel. my guess is your fuel pump isn't pumping enough fuel. correct if i'm wrong...but that's what i think.

they can start have running problem issues but most of the time they just feel like your running out of gas then die. if its running you can do a fuel pressure test to see if it is getting weak, and there are no sensors for the fuel pump to activate the "check engine light". check the basics first:・ 1) engine oil level. ・ 2) coolant level. ・ 3) pulleys, and belts.
