M20 starts up and dies if not given gas?

I'll start up the E30 and it'll run for about 3 seconds then shuts off if not fed gas. Its a constant thing, I always need to feed it or shuts off.

Could be many things. Iac is my first guess. Timing issues, fuel pressure are second on my list to check.

I think it may be the fuel pump, I'm going to get it replaced.

The first thing I'd want to check for would be intake leaks, which a smoke test would find. Next, or along side, I'd clean the ICV and make sure that the idle switch in the TPS is presenting a signal to the DME.

I'm having the same issue he's having. Thanks for the info, I'll check that out personally tonight.
