2001 Toyota Echo Question?

I have a 2001 Toyota Echo you can start and let the engine get warm and when you try to accelerate the engine will die just like you shut off the key. You can wait a short time and restart it will run for a short time and die again. Anyone have any ideas what may cause this?

    The Toyota Echo should serve you well if you do buy it but try to find one that has a bit less km on it since 170,000 might be a little to much. However if the previous owner took good care of it than you should have nothing to worry about.

    hmm...might be a bad alternator---or some other electrical charging issue.
