The vacuum line from my charcoal cannister came disconnected once,and I also had my PCV valve come out of it rubber grommet in the rear of the lower intake once and all I got both times was....Start and die, Start and die, Start and die... I kept playing with the accelerator pedal to bring up the rpm and if finally ran for a few seconds before it died again. If you can keep it running long enough you can eventually find that leak if you have one.
