84 Camry Starts then dies

I have an 84 camry that starts, runs for 10 to 15 seconds then dies. I have replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump and have good fuel pressure. Any help would be greatly appreciated

It sounds like it's running directly from the cold start injector only. Check fuel system and ignition relays.

Does it stay running if you throttle up, or does it just die?

Thanks for the replys
It starts right runs for a few seconds then dies. If you attempt to give it any gas it dies immediately.

I'd check the intake tube, make sure its tight and doesnt have a leak.
