1989 Honda Accord 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 25 mpg miles

My car turns on fine, and will drive fine if I just put it in park and go... but then when I put on the brakes, it will idle low, and shut off, unless I give it some gas. It runs perfectly fine if I sit with my foot steadily on the gas until it warms up. What would cause this???

Already tried replacing the spark plugs, and putting cleaner in my gas... neither worked, unfortunately!

If you know what this could be, I would appreciate it SO MUCH if you could let me know!!

Has the check engine light come on? THis is going back a few years, and I can't remember if your vehicle is fuel injected or has a carb. Can you let me know that. Also, let me know about the check engine light.
