Problem with "88" Chevy Celebrity?

[Zen Master]

My son bought this car 6 months ago with only 60,000 miles. It started and ran fine until today when he was driving it home and the "check engine" light went on and the car choked off at the next stop sign. I can start the car by holding the gas pedal down at least 1/4 the way. To keep it running I have to keep the gas pedal down at least 1/4 the way down or it will choke off. It is a 2.8 L, V-6 engine.

On a GM automatic, disconnect the transmission overdrive converter harness plug at the left lower rear of the transmission and see if this makes a difference.
