Need more info. engine size. Sounds like it may have a vacumn leak, Standing on the pass side of the engine, look down on the upper pleneum, there is a l shaped vac. nipple that is bad about rotting away and leaking. If it is bad you can check it by temporarily pluging the port off. If it runs now and idles you have your problem, go to the parts house and tell them, or show them what is left of yours, they should have it for around 3 bucks. Thanks for using 2CarPros
