That is a classic symptom of a vacuum leak. First check to make sure your vacuum pump is running, if so then you have a leak somewhere. If not then you have a bad pump or an electrical problem somewhere.

Edit:

If the vacuum pump is working right (runs for a bit then shuts off) you might have a bad selector switch...

Check to see if the pump is running first then get back to us.
