Problems with 85 Ranger

[jjpp250]

The problem I have is I can start my truck, It will Idle breifly and die, It will stay running if I fether the throtle. When it dies it still has fuel in the bowl. I have gas in the tank

[skippy]

try pushing gas pedal to the floor once or twice before turning the key.this should set the carb on the fast idle cam,engine shouls idle fast for a minute or two,then pump the pedal one time to release it to normal idle.fwiw.whats the period since last tune up?

Could be many things. including a vacuum leak - first place to look for that is the fitting behind the carb.

Pull codes would be my first step, along with a visual inspection with particular attention to vac lines.
