The car will only start when press the accelerator. If I take my foot off the accellerator it dies instantly.

I have changed tje fuel filter and tested the fuel line pressure. Also had it put on the analysis machine and everything check out find.

When the engine is running it runs perfectly with no miss or hestitation.

Any idea what the problem is?
