Default 16v Fuel Distributor/Intake problem.. Help!

I have an '81 Pickup with an '87 Scirocco 16v engine. The engine will start for a second or two on a cold start and then die and will not start back up again except when i take the intake boot off and hold the flap up. As soon as i let it drop the engine shuts off. I had a mechanic(non-vw mech) play with it but he didn't know what he was doing and i told him to get lost. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and or if anyone that lives close and can fix it, their time will be paid.
