Sounds like a bad alternator. Is it a DX or SI. When you mean everything you start up it dies. Are you meaning lights etc.. See if you can get it towed to dealer or some shop to have checked out.

Good luck & post what problem was..

Should be on the intake manifold right on the back of it, or on the back drivers side of the intake manifold. I can't remember, been awhile since i had a stock motor. Either way it's on the intake manifold, don't mistake the throttle position sensor for it.
