Ford Fiesta starts but cuts out unless you keep revs up

Car: Ford Fiesta
Variant: 1.4 Zetec
Model Year: 2002
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
To start the car you have to rev it. If you take your foot off the gas the engine dies. Please help. I've had 3 mechanics look at it now and still the problem is the same. The car is parked outside my house on a slight hill.
