Anyone have 4age/ae86 experience?, Got some problems... Options

[Delta_Phoenix]

I'm working on an '86 ae86 and I'm having some trouble getting it to run. It'll start but after about 10 sec. it just dies. Planning on buying it IF I can get it to run. Looking for some advice. I'll add details if I get some responses.

is it a 4AGE?? or is it a 4A??...SR5 or GTS?? I would say check the basics, fuel, spark, air on both. And if its GTS and has a 4age, check the connections on the fuel pump, and AFM. If its SR5, pull the air filter off and check the carb for gas. See what condition the gas is in. Smelly, burns on your fingers, dirty, etc. I have a feeling its more of an electrical problem if its 4AGE, but if its SR5 i have a feeling its a carb problem.

Also, just check for the corolla hole. Under the brake master cylinder, theres a hole that always rots out. Just check the structure of the firewall under it.

It says 4age in the title, so it's GTS sir . (unless it's a swapped SR5) If it is a swapped SR5 then that opens up a new world of possible gremlins.
