I have a 300e 86 that will start but continues to shut down, any suggestions?

What's happening to your car, do you mean it cranks over starts up and then dies? What if you hold down the gas pedal?

yeah it cranks an then dies. If I press the gas it rares up but still dies.

1.Check your fuses
2. remove the fuel filter and see if it's clogged, you can briefly turn on the ignition and see if fuel sprays out, if not your pump or relay are dead.

Yeah it cranks then dies, it dies when I press the gas.

Thanks

Check vac routing, too.
