Okay, I bought a 89' fastback, I bought it for 300$.

When I first got it, the engine didn't crank nor run at all (duh).

But, after about 5 months of patiently waiting, I finally got a replacement engine with only 86K miles on it. nothing internally is wrong.

Im just going to throw out there that the gas in the tank is about 6 years old.

It also has no Res., no cat, or muffler, so its loud as $hit.

When I start it up, it wants to die right away.

In order for me to keep it running, I have to keep hitting the gas and keep it at about 2k rpm.

I do this for about 2-3min and it finally can idle at 1k by itself without me giving it a little gas.

My question is, could the gas be causing this? Could the exhaust seeing as it has almost NO back pressure?

If thats not the case, what is?

Thanks.
