NH Hard To Start And No Idle

My 87 turbo II is very hard to start, it will turn over run a few seconds then dies and if i give it gas when it turns over it stalls instantly like its cutting off gas,After about 10 times of cranking the motor will finallly jump the rpms past 1000 and I can give it some gas then it will run but it wont idle I have to keep presure on the pedal.Any suggestions????????????????????????? It was running fine a few weeks ago........
