Problem on keeping engine running

I have a 96 camry and I can't seem to keep the engine running after turning it over. It'll start...then immediately die. I can keep it running by slightly holding down the gas pedal while starting it. But if I let up off of the accelerator it just drops the rpms real low and wants to die, then will die once I completely let off. I can't figure this one out. I think maybe its a bad tank of gas and there's some water in the gas, but I wanted to get some input on this before I do anything stupid.

Any thoughts/ideas are welcome. Thanks.

What work have you done on it lately? When did it start? Not just what day, what were the exact conditions, as best you can.

Never mind it. I got it running. I just put some gas treatment in it to see if there was some water in it. Low and behold, after keeping it running for a little while...I let off and it idled down as usual. I figured I just got a tank of bad gas. Thanks anyways all.
