Car stalls
I have a 87 Trans Am with the LG4 engine. The car starts fine. When it is in park it runs fine but when you put it in drive or reverse it stalls. I was told that the carb might need rebuilt, I got it rebuilt and it ran fine for about two or three weeks but when I started it up the other day and put it in gear it stalled. Please help. Thanks Ross

The idle runs around 1 or so in park, when it is in drive the idle goes up and down from around 1-.25 and then it stalls. normally the drive idle is around .5 or .75 when I had it rebuilt.

Lean Idle can do that. Try making the idle a bit richer.

If memory serves me right, someone correct me if I am wrong, the idle screw is on the drivers side of the carb. It should be the only other screw that adjusts other than rich or lean. It is best to adjust w/ two people. One to watch the tach and one to adjust.
