I just started having trouble with my baby. It wont start unless I step on the throttle and as soon as I stop giving it gas it dies. What can I check before I take it to the dealer? Please help

I had the same problem, check your connections with the absolute throttle position sensor. Also, if you have a check engine light on, check to see if it deals with the throttle sensor. I had the same stalling problem when my absolute throttle position sensor wasn't working properly cause the wires were loose.
