    87 accord

    New to the forum, bought a 1987 Accord LX, it has been sitting for a couple years. I changed the oil, and fuel, and put a new battery in it. It will start, but just as soon as the motor starts to idle, it dies out. All the electrical components work, just need any ideas

    You're going to be digging into your carb controls. Since it's sat for a while, I'd start with checking all of those vacuum lines.
