If you give the car gas and it immediately dies but idles without giving the car gas, the VAF could be unplugged. If the car immediately dies without giving the car gas, it could have low fuel pressure, vaccum leaks, compression issues.
What causes a engine to spit and sputter while driving but the car idles fine?
dirt in the carburator, incorrect fuelling or ignition (i.e. spark) breaking down under load. Check that fuel is getting through, fuel pressure & that injectors are spraying correctly, and that plugs are giving a good healthy blue spark. If spark is weak it could be plugs, leads, coil, distributor cap / rotor arm or a bad earth - check everything.
