87 cabby stall right after starting

[Ledd]

It starts and then stalls out almost immediately after starting.
it'll fire up on the second or third try usually, but sometimes
will want to die unless I give it gas for a few seconds. So far
I've put on some new ngk plugs, new ignition wires, distributor cap
and rotor. Does this sound like an ignition or a fuel problem?

does the fuel pump prime when you turn key to acc?

Sounds like a vacuum problem. I forgot to tighten up my intake hose after replacing my air filter once and the car did exactly that; started, then immediately stalled. If you have a propane torch handy, open the valve (but don't light it! ) and get someone to go over all the vacuum lines while you try to start the car. If it stays running, wherever your propane is aimed, that's your culprit.

I always like to check ignition timing first. Then move on to vaccum.

I will check this things right away. I'm rather novice with these cars. haha
Funny that you mentioned that toplessbunny! I just changed my air filter maybe a week ago..

So my cabriolet diesels occasionally after turning the car off. According to Bentley, this could be due to incorrect ignition timing. Fingers crossed I can knock these two issues with one stone. I've never tinkered with ignition timing before. Cabby-info's DIYs are a godsend though!
my 87 Cabriolet is actually the first car I've worked on myself before. Gotta admit, every little thing I do to this car is sort of a rush. Good feeling. I'm 22, but I'm eager to learn and I love my car! Sorry, end of rant. Hah
