Starts, Idles, Then Dies

[oreo]

In the mornings my Car will start just fine idle up then down really quick, idle ruff for like 30 sec. to a min then die. I have replaced all the vaccum lines, and put a new atr billet vaccum block on. Now im at a total loss at what could be wrong. Anyone out there have this problem??

My friend I had the same problem, I did everything from tune up to changing lines, but I replaced the mag sensor and it worked great. Try out. Believe or not that seems to be problem on the cars. Good luck.

What's a mag sensor? MAF maybe?

Hopefully its not the computer
Mine was doing the same thing but it wouldn't run at all in less you gave it gas at all times.
So hope the problem doesn't get that bad for you.
when it happened to me i just pulled the motor.
