Car starts up fine, but dies soon after
 
It'll be fine if I give it a little gas(even then it's sporatic as I held the gas steady, RPM kept jumping up and down). If I let go the gas, the motor would die. This is a 90gxl model with 110K on it. It was running silky smooth a day before thanksgiving, what gives after 3 days rest? It rain all wkend, so not sure if that was the culprit. Tune up was down 2 months ago.

how long does it last with the gas on??
my car did the same thing but after like a min or two the car still died with the gas on

it was the fuel pump. get a gauge and find out how much psi its pushing

sounds like an intake air leak somewhere between the intake ports and the AFM, check for cracked rubber hoses etc especially the hose from the AFM to the TB

Checked this morning, and sure enough, it was a 1/2" hose that came off the chamber, next to the oil filler. It's running like a champ now.
Thanks a lot folks!
