1990 mazda 626 4cyl It made a back fire and then stalled. Know I have to pump the gas to keep it going, pump it a lot. Or it just stalls out. It starts right up.

It ran fine the day before. Go out to go to work and it started and then it backfired and stalled. I tryed to restart it. It starts but i have to keep pumping the gas to keep it running. So this is telling me it is getting gas and spark. Help Thanks For your TIME.

IF it runs good, other than the idle issue, check to see if there are any vacuum hoses that were knocked off or damaged. Also, check the idle air control solenoid to make sure it is working properly.
