I have a 1982 Honda accord that the engine was removed and the clutch replaced. When the engine was reinstalled, the car will start up but will not run unless you continually pump the gas. I suspect it is a vacuum line but trying to follow them in Haynes and Chilton are next to impossible. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have spent two days already trying to figure this out.

Have somebody keep it running and you carefully spray around the engine with carb cleaner, the engine will react when you spray a vacuum leak
