Is the large intake boot in good shape? It sounds like a massive vacuum leak! Do you hear air hissing? Do you have the CIS-E or Digifant II injection? I forgot when they made the change.

The Boot is in good shape I don't know what type of injection I have I will go look in the morning when I can see what I am doing. Somebody told me it might be the temperature sensor but I'm not sure any other ideas? thanks for the input

If it is CIS-E then it starts because the cold start valve shoots some fuel in the intake manifold so the engine will run until that fuel is gone. Yes probably Coolant Temperature Sensor, boot, or fuel injection fuse or ???

If Digifant II it could be the boot, ground wires and maybe CTS.

Now of course I am assuming that it does have a good ignition switch, which happens to be a common problem with symptoms like yours. ;-) later, dave Reminder........
