The car starts but quickly dies down, so I usually rev it a couple times and it stays on. But today it just keeps dying down, even when I rev it. It dies down like if it stalled, but it's an automatic. Somebody said they had the same problem and it was some sensor that he had to get replaced....also I know I've needed an oil change for a while but I don't imagine that would cause this. Any ideas? Thanks.

try this:
pump your gas peddle a few times before starting your car, then let it run for a bit. i heard somewhere that the most wear on your engine takes place in the first few minutes because you're running on a cold engine. i always let my car (whatever it is i'm driving) warm up for a couple of minutes before i leave, especially now that it's winter and it's snowing like a mofo around here
