starts, stalls, won't idle
86 240- sat for a long time, then started right up when needed.
It began stalling at idle, then would only run when the engine was raced or throttle was pumped- it behaved like a carbureted engine that wasn't getting enough fuel: if you tap the throttle, it will keep going, but this one is injected.
Checked the fuel pumps, and it's getting lots of fuel.
It starts, runs for a couple seconds smoothly, then stalls- I can get down the road but it will only keep going at high revs.
Thanks for any ideas!

Alternately, it could be an air leak w/ one of the vacuum hoses. I replaced a couple of hoses on mine, and the same thing happened. I then realized that I'd forgotten to reattach one of the vacuum hoses near the intake manifold.
