1. check for horrible vacuum leaks which cause the air plate not to rise

2. try adjusting the fuel mixture blindly (since it won;t run you can't
measure anything...), clockwise with a 3mm hex between the fuel
distributor and rubber boot should make it richer - try one turn at a
time (one turn is pretty radical, btw).

since something is obviously preventing fuel from getting to the engine
under "normal" circumstances.

also...

check the temp sender for the ECU
intake manifold ground connection
wires to fuel dist control parts.
