do you have cold start probelms? was your A/C on? did it stall as soon as you stop or did it idle for a while? how much gas was in it? sorry so many ????'s just need more info

well wen i start it after sitting overnight, it will idle around 1500-1800 for like a min or 2 and then drop to around 750. the a/c wasnt on. the gas gauge is off but id say prob about 1/4 tank in it. and i was stopped at the light for about a minute maybe.

Re: stalled out at a light today, help

hmmm not to sure, sometimes if you are REAL low on gas it will all slosh foward on a stop and sometimes cut out.......mine has done that a few times, im not to worried about it, i know i need new injectors but im holding out to get a holly or other oversize TBI.....if the idle is real low in gear and on the brake then you may want to raise it a bit, in case you dont know how look at where the throttle thingy is and you will see a stop screw, look infron of the TB unit where the head of that screw would be, you will either see a screw of a silver "plug" just take a scratch awl and a hammer and tap into that plug and pry it out, you will see the screw and adjust accordingly..... not sure if you got a injector problem as you would probably have hard cold starts where you got to hold the idle. wish i could be more help
