Engine dies after starting, low RMPs
F250 1995 <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/"><a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">460 </a></a>EFI
When I first start the engine, it immediately dies. I have to hit gas and raise the RMPs to 1000 or 1500 and hold it there for 1/2-1 minute. Then I can release the gas pedal and it idles fine. After that, no problems with anything.
It does it every time. Any idea why? I will try changing the spark plugs to see if that helps.
It idles at 600 RMPs.
