GOT IT STARTED!!! but dies
 
Okay, so a couple of weeks ago I made a post about my 88 turbo not firing up. Well the car now starts. I have no idea what my dad did to the car. Well here is the problem now. The car has good compression, but while i'm warming up the car, the car just dies at around 1200 rpm. I try to fire the car up, takes a bit of effort. The car turns for a bit and then starts... Wait a couple more minutes and the car dies again. Now, at about 700 rpm, the car is fine, does not die. I haven't driving the car around do to my parking brake being stuck.

Any one have a clue with what is going on with the car? I'm guessing it has something to do with electrical? Could also be coolant seals, but as I mentioned, the car has good compression. At idle, I get about 15-17 vacuum.

It seems like either the gas get's cut off, or the engine get's flooded, or something else like coolant floods it... but then if coolant flooded it, I don't think it would start that easily or start at all for that matter.
