91 dx starts but doesn't idle.

Hey everyone, I've had a 91 civic dx and it's been bullet proof for the last 3 years. It has over 200k miles and just started acting up. It will start just fine, but it will idle for a few seconds and then die out. If I feather the gas I can keep it going but it runs rough. It will not idle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would say clean you air control- #18: http://www.hondapartscheap.com/south...t=0&quantity=0

But, you should check for codes first: http://www.c-speedracing.com/faq/06.php

If you don't have the connector there will be a little light on the ECU itself that blinks when you turn the ignition on.
