1993 olds 98 will not stay running.

I have a 1993 olds 98 and it will not start unless i give it a little gas and when i let off the gas it turns off. Any ideas? I think it may be the fuel pump but where is it located?

Not clear here you mean, if you don't keep your foot on the gas pedal it will stall?, will it restart, can you drive it, not enough info here, btw the pump is in the tank.

It will stall if i do not keep my foot on the gas pedal. I can drive it once it is on the road its fine but as soon as you con to a stop it dies out unless you keep your foot on the gas. Yes it starts back up.

Ok, there is an idle control valve that could be bad, it's on the throttle body, also the egr could be stuck open, just 2 common possibilities.
