start no idle
title says it all, if i throttle it it stays on but it dies on the spot if i let go. it doesnt even try to stay on. i did a smoke test and it only came out of the acv air pump and intake. its a 1991 na. thanks in advanced.

what other test have you performed? smoke test is kind of a weak test, I would check vacuum leaks with brake clean or even water while it is running
what kind of service work has been performed since the last time it ran correctly?
runs but doesn't idle is typical of a blown up motor, do a compression test

im not rotary master but i dont think this is a compression issue, im also hoping its not!, because it catches on the first time when i spun it by hand i removed the plugs and i could hear 3 solid puffs. now i know this isnt a surefire test but it helps me sleep at night lol. ill check the sock. also the pump i have is an fd pump, i got it for free and was told the car would run lean but it wouldnt cause to much trouble until my actual pump arrives
