Starting problem

I'm having trouble with my FC.

When i try to turn it over, the starter, and everything works, then as soon as you hear it turn over it dies unless i keep my foot on the pedal and keep the RPMs above 5k.

Could it be electrical, or fuel pump?

That sounds more like an idling problem. Will it idle at all after you warm it up? Check for vacuum leaks, leaks in the intake piping and test the TPS.

no, it wont idle at all, and we replaced all the vaccum hoses, and a brand new intake and TPS.

I forgot to add that its an '88 TII

If anyone knows of any garages that work on RX-7s here in San Diego, CA, i would be much appreciated to know!
